Among the questions that were posed to H.E. Ambassador were as follows:
- To begin, could you tell our readers a little about your beautiful country?
- How do you assess the bilateral relations between Algeria and Malaysia?
- The commercial exchanges between our two countries are still low, and do not reflect the relationship between our two countries. How could you explain that?
- What are the potential sectors which can boost the volume of these exchanges?
- Is Malaysia interested in investing in Algeria? If yes, in which fields?
- More and more Algerians hear about tourism in Malaysia, could you tell us about the facilities your country could offer to potential Algerian tourists?
- Malaysia is a Muslim country that is part of the Asian tigers. Within 25 years, your country has move from the status of undeveloped country to the current admirable status. How could you explain this advancement?
Both the Muslim and Third World countries should ponder over the Malaysian experience. Your country knew how to benefit from its wealth. If you had a piece of advice, which could help Algeria to reach the development it aspires to, what would it be?
