“We are most delighted to have you here. It is always a source of great pleasure to deal with anybody from Algeria. From the African continent, I know you are occupying a very special place.

“Certainly for us, you are a sign of Africa. You have produced some of the finest activists, even philosophers. You have influenced thinking about our future and some of it,” His Excellency Adv. Duma Boko said as he welcomed Mr. Mohamed Meziane, Minister of Communications.

Hon. Mr. Meziane expressed interest in working further with Botswana in terms of their bilateral relations and went further to introduce Ambassador Selma Malika Haddadi, the Algerian candidate for the position of Vice Chair for the African Union Commission.
