Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune is scheduled to make a two-day trip to Tunisia on Monday, the first visit of an Algerian head of state to the country in 11 years.

El Khabar Algerian newspaper revealed on its website that Tebboune’s visit to Tunisia at the head of a ministerial delegation aims to resolve obstacles to the implementation of some agreements especially those on free trade in three regions.

The newspaper added that the Tunisian presidency is making detailed arrangements to guarantee the success of the state visit.

Tunisia pins high hopes that this visit would reach a breakthrough in bilateral ties and create prospects for economic cooperation as well as reinforce security coordination against terrorism.

Tunisian President Kais Saied visited Algeria on Feb. 4.

In other news, the first coordination meeting was held Wednesday between Tunisian Prime Minister Elyes Fakhfakh and Rached Ghannouchi, the head of Ennahda party.

It resulted in forming a joint team to prioritize the draft-laws submitted to the parliament.

Around 60 draft-laws on social and economic affairs haven't yet been adopted.
