CELEBRATION OF THE 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF NOVEMBER 1, 1954 - 2024
The 70th anniversary of Algeria's national holiday, corresponding to the outbreak of the armed struggle for independence, was marked by a sumptuous celebration in Sarajevo on 5th November 2024.
The Algerian Ambassador to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Mr Toufik MILAT, hosted a reception for the occasion, which was well attended by some 300 guests representing the diplomatic corps, officials, friends of Algeria and the national community established in this country.
In his welcome address, the Algerian Ambassador, who recalled that this was the first commemoration of its kind in Sarajevo since the recent opening of the Algerian Embassy, particularly highlighted the democratic and other tangible socio-economic achievements of Algeria in recent years. This has been reflected in the launch of major and structural projects.
He also highlighted the significant redeployment of the country's diplomacy, giving it greater visibility and a key role on the regional and international level.
An Algerian touch marked the various sequences of this reception. A video showing the progress of the new Algeria and its tourist facets was shown, and traditional cakes and other culinary products from the national gastronomy were served, to the delight of the guests who were very appreciative.
