To join the "BRICS", where does this northern African country come from?

On August 4th, the Broadcasting Corporation website published entitled "Algeria intentionally became the" confidence "of the BRICS country? "Article. The article pointed out that Algeria, North Africa countries, expressed their hope to join the BRICS countries and announced that they would strengthen English teaching, reflecting the country's economic rise and balanced diplomacy under the transformation of the international energy pattern. The full text is as follows:

According to Reuters, Algerian President Abdul Magid Special recently said that he is interested in joining the BRICS countries.

When the world energy and economic structure occurred in 2022, especially after the outbreak of the Russian -Ukraine conflict, Algeria's former French colony seemed to suddenly become increasingly important on the international stage.

An obvious evidence is that senior officials of great powers have visited, including US Secretary of State Brosky, Russian Foreign Minister Raferov. What is Algeria's international attraction?

In the open television interview, Twita said that Algeria met most of the conditions for joining the BRICS countries, and the BRICS countries were also interested in Algeria because Algeria was an important economic and political force.

In another TV speech, he announced that Algeria will start teaching English in primary school later in 2022. Special President emphasized that strengthening English teaching is considered to meet the growing needs of scholars and college students.

According to the current Algerian school curriculum, middle schools provide English teaching to students over 14 years old, and elementary school students start learning French when they are 9 years old. In the early 1990s, the Algerian people initiated a similar initiative, so that parents had the right to choose French and English for their children in elementary school. However, it caused anger in France, and the Alfalian government's internal French lobbying group called for abandonment of the plan, which led to the then Education Minister of Education.

Analysis states that the strengthening of English teaching reflects Algeria's cultural autonomy after the great growth of energy economic income.

Since Russia and Ukraine's relations are tense, the price of oil and gas has risen, and Algeria has benefited a lot as an important production and exporter of oil and gas as the world.

Algeria's pillar economy industry is oil and gas, and it is the largest supplier to supply natural gas to Europe by Africa's cross -border pipelines. Algeria was originally the EU's second major natural gas supply country. Before the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, it accounted for 1/4 of the EU's natural gas market.

In the case of European and American sanctions against Russia due to war, European countries have greatly reduced the importance of imported oil from Russia and an important source of importing imports to increase imports. This has expanded the market share of Algeria in the European Union.

Algeria's natural gas exports increased by 43%in 2021 to 55 billion cubic meters, of which more than 80%flowed to Europe.

The Italian Prime Minister Dragi visited Algeria this year and signed a new natural gas supply agreement with the country to increase the import volume of natural gas by about 40%.

In addition, Algerian's large desert areas have rich solar potential, and the prospects of green energy construction are quite huge.

European powers are also beginning to provide investment in Algerian energy infrastructure because Algeria has rich natural resources and its advantages in Europe.

Algeria did not fully support Western sanctions on Russia on the issue of Russia and Ukraine. It called for the Ukraine crisis through dialogue and negotiation politics, and a vote of abstaining the Russian conference on Russia's decision to stop the use of force on Ukraine.

Agence France -Presse reported that in order to avoid opposing Moscow, Algeria also reiterated that the country's additional export capacity to Europe was limited and could not replace Russia's natural gas.

As a country that mainly relies on imported food and daily necessities, Algeria pays special attention to the impact of the Ukraine crisis in the field of energy and food safety.
