Significance
Securing the UNSC seat in June represented a victory for Algeria’s diplomatic efforts at a time when the country wants to showcase a more engaged attitude in international affairs and is becoming a major gas supplier to Europe.
Impacts
Algeria will avoid directly criticising Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, while simultaneously calling for peace.
Algeria’s UNSC seat will help accelerate ties with the BRICS countries, even if Algiers fails to become a member of the group.
International visibility could help Algiers attract foreign investments.
