Xi, holding talks with Tebboune in Beijing, described Algeria as a natural partner. He said the two countries will also forge deeper ties in the minerals and agriculture sectors, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said.
Xi said both sides will also build out cooperation in aerospace, nuclear energy, and renewable energy, as well as cultivating new points for cooperation. In 2014, the countries upgraded their ties to a so-called comprehensive strategic partnership, with Algeria the first Arab nation to form such a partnership with China.
