ALGIERS, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- Algerian Foreign Minister Abdelkader Messahel on Wednesday received the new Chinese Ambassador to Algeria Li Lianhe, said a statement of the foreign ministry.
The relations between China and Algeria were elevated to a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2014, and further strengthened after Algeria joined China's Belt and Road Initiative this year.
The Belt and Road Initiative, proposed by China in 2013, aims at building a trade and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa along the ancient trade routes.
