Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday said Beijing will continue to recognize Algeria as an important partner of cooperation amid the new condition of strengthening ties with developing countries.

The win-win cooperation between China and Algeria has great potential and room for development, Wang said, adding that Beijing encourages more Chinese companies to invest in Algeria.

Wang made the remarks when meeting with Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune during his stay in Algeria, the last leg of his recent visit after Syria and Egypt.

On his side, Tebboune first congratulated the Communist Party of China as this year marks the 100th anniversary of the Party's founding.

Algeria and China shared traditional friendship and mutual trust, the president said, hoping to deepen cooperation with Beijing in fields including trade, investment, energy and mineral, and infrastructure.
