AMMAN – HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, founder and chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global (TAG.Global), has received in his office  Ambassador of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria to Jordan, HE Mr. Abdulkarim Behha, accompanied by the Cultural Attaché at the Algerian Embassy, Ms. Asmaa Lubayd. The meeting was attended by Eng. Ibrahim Abu Naffa, Talal Abu-Ghazaleh & Co. Consulting executive director, Mr. Samer Jamhour, executive director of TAG.Global New Offices, Mr. Hussein Al Sheyab, Business Development manager, and Mr. Jawad Obeidat, Training Consultant. 

During the meeting, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh referred to the historical standing Algeria enjoys as the ‘Country of the  Million Martyrs, and the efforts made to establish a strong modern state despite the difficulties and challenges experienced by Algeria, among which were the French occupation and the so-called Black Decade or the Algerian Civil War that took the lives of thousands of Algerians in the 1990s of the last Century.

Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh went on to proudly highlight the deep ties with Algeria, citing his 1995 visit to the country, during which he was received and welcomed by the Algeria Prime Minister among other official dignitaries. 

He stated that the keenness to activate cooperation with the Algerian official authorities through the Algerian Embassy in Amman comes in line with TAG.Global’s mission to provide digital learning, training and capacity-building services that effectively address high costs of education and positively contribute to improving education quality not only to urban areas, but also to remote areas. 

For his part, Ambassador Behha stated that the Algerian-Jordanian ties that have been historically distinctive, were further strengthened after the visit of His Majesty King Abdullah II Ibn Al Hussein to his brother, HE President Abdelmadjid Tebboune in 2022. The visit effectively served as a new beginning in raising trade exchange between the two countries as well as an example to follow for cooperation between public and private sector institutions in both countries. 

The Ambassador added that all the recommendations presented by TAG.Global will be discussed, and that cooperation between the Organization and Algerian authorities will be organized, emphasizing that the Algeria entities greatly appreciate the role of Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh in disseminating knowledge at the Arab and global levels.
