Algeria and China Discuss Expanding Cooperation in Nuclear technologies - Al24 News. This has been ongoing. Cooperation in nuclear energy has been a priority for China in the Arab world for a long time and was featured as one of the ‘3 breakthroughs’ in the 1+2+3 cooperation framework. There has been halting moves towards developing this sector with Algeria with not much progress, so this should be read with the knowledge that it’s not new and talks are not at a very advanced stage. Still, it is a priority sector for Beijing and is worth tracking. I’ve been reading about it for a book that has been making very little progress lately, but hope to wrap up over the next couple of months.
