Prime Minister Abdelmalek Sellal said Monday in In Guezzam, Tamanrasset (1970-km south of Algiers), that President of the Republic Abdelaziz Bouteflika had given instructions to attach a special attention to the country's border regions.
"For the first time in the history of independent Algeria, a large government delegation has made a visit to border areas in line with the instructions of President of the Republic to give a special attention to those regions in the country's south, east and west," Sellal said at a meeting with the representatives of the civil society and local officials of In Guezzam.
The premier stressed the need to take the appropriate measures and ensure the required resources to give a fresh impetus to development in the country's border areas.
Sellal added that he would make a visit shortly to the regions of Debdeb and Bordj Omar Driss, in the country's far south.
