Algeria to be geostrategic power in western Mediterranean Sea

Algeria plans to sign a new deal to buy weapons from Russia in return for billions dollars. That will make it a geostrategic power in western Mediterranean Sea.

A Russian newspaper Friday said Algeria will buy a large quantity of Russian weapons. The possible deal value may reach $7 billion like 2007’s contract with the same country or $10 billion like a previous deal signed with Germany in 2010.

This deal would make Algeria Russia’s most important client in terms of weapons.

Earlier in October, an important military delegation led by vice-defense minister paid a visit to Moscow and met senior military and civilian officials.
