Algeria notes "with interest" the results of the Security Council High-Level Summit on Foreign Terrorist Fighters, convened by US president Obama as well as well as “the ongoing international mobilization against the large-scale cross-border terrorism affecting Iraq and Syria,”  Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamamra affirmed Saturday in New York.
While addressing the general debate of the sixty-ninth session of the General Assembly, the minister said that "the difficult regional circumstance requires intensifying efforts of the fight against the terrorist groups, that qui arose in the Sahel region and the inter-connections they established with the networks of drug trafficking and the organized crime."
He indicated that "Algeria will pursue cooperation within the Global Counterterrorism Forum, notably as a co-chair of the working group on the Sahel, on the issues of border security as well as the prevention of kidnapping in return of ransom by terrorist groups, under the recommendations of Algiers workshop held in September 2013 and the relevant resolutions of the UN General Assembly and the Security Council."
"The assassination of French national Hervé Gourdel spotlights the demand for reinforcing the anti-terrorist cooperation in all its forms,” Lamamra concluded.
