EU asks Change Coordination about situation in Algeria

EU Ambassador invited members of the National Coordination for Liberties and Democratic Transition to meet Arab Maghreb Bureau Chief at the African Union. He will arrive to Algeria on Tuesday on a three-day-visit.

The Ambassador fixed the meeting time at 9 am. It will deal with domestic and regional issues as well as partnership perspectives between Algeria and the European Union.

Lakhdar Benkhelaf, member of the Coordination and representative of the Justice and Development front said his party is ready to talk to the EU’s representative.
