In a meeting attended by ‘Sputnik’, he added that “this field is promising for building regional and international partnerships based on mutual benefit, technology transfer, and creating added value.” He explained that “in the past, Algeria experienced multiple attempts to establish a vehicle industry, but they remained confined to assembly patterns with limited added value.” Algerian Minister of Industry and Pharmaceutical Production, Dr. Wassim Kouidri, revealed the practical measures taken to realize this vision. These include launching the national network for spare parts manufacturing, a mechanism aimed at structuring the national industrial fabric, and initiating the national monitoring and accreditation network to ensure compliance with international quality and safety standards. Additionally, a council of experts in the field of vehicle and spare parts manufacturing has been formed to provide recommendations on the best industrial options.
He continued by saying: “Algeria, with its strategic location as a gateway between Africa and Europe and its modern infrastructure, is poised to be a regional platform for manufacturing and distribution, a space for industrial integration, and a bridge for African-African cooperation.”
