Algeria will soon begin exporting pharmaceutical raw materials to Tunisia for the first time, particularly those used in the production of paracetamol and antibiotics, Algerian Minister of Pharmaceutical Industry Wassim Kouidri announced on Monday.
The minister made the statement following a field visit, alongside Tunisian Minister of Health Mostafa Ferjani, to several pharmaceutical production facilities in the capital. He confirmed that Tunisia will be the first partner to benefit from these exports.
Kouidri also noted that the two countries agreed to activate a memorandum of understanding signed during the 23rd session of the Algerian-Tunisian Joint High Commission, held in Tunis last December. The agreement aims to strengthen cooperation in pharmaceutical manufacturing and expertise exchange.
He added that bilateral cooperation will cover the production of vaccines, insulin, anti-cancer drugs, and antibiotics, with plans to expand collaboration to additional sectors in the future.
