Algeria's Foreign Minister Mohammed Bedjaoui and his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov expressed their determination to combine efforts in fighting terrorism at a press conference in Moscow Friday (April 13th). Russia supports the UN Security Council's decision to condemn the recent terror acts in the Algerian capital, Lavrov said, adding that the attacks "strengthen the determination to combat this evil without compromise both on a multilateral and bilateral basis." According to Lavrov, the fight against terrorism is an important part of Russian-Algerian co-operation that encompasses many spheres. Bedjaoui affirmed that any forms of terrorism are unacceptable, and that both countries should join forces against it. While in Moscow, Bedjaoui also met with Russian National Security Council Secretary Igor Ivanov, and Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Naryshkin. The talks focused on joint co-operation projects in energy and other economic sectors. (Ech-chorouk, Xinhua)
