Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune reaffirmed his country's readiness to be a key partner in efforts to develop joint Arab action and strengthen the role of the Arab League in addressing regional challenges, Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Fahmy said late Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters after meeting Tebboune in Algiers, Fahmy said the talks covered regional developments and the need for practical steps to make Arab cooperation more effective in responding to rapidly evolving challenges.

He said Tebboune had reiterated Algeria's support for the Arab League and its readiness to contribute to improving the organization's institutional performance and strengthening its regional role, particularly in defending Arab rights and promoting stability and development.

Separately, Algerian Minister of State and Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf held talks with Fahmy earlier on Tuesday on developments in the region, including the Palestinian territories, and the crises in Libya, Sudan and Yemen, as well as threats to the security of Gulf countries.

In a statement, the two sides stressed the need to intensify Arab and international efforts to promote peaceful political solutions and strengthen coordination among member states to address common challenges.

Fahmy is attending the 42nd session of the Council of Arab Justice Ministers on Wednesday in Algiers.
