The U.S. Trade and Development Agency’s Worldwide Energy Sector Team Leader and Regional Director for East Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Europe & Eurasia Carl B. Kress visited Algeria June 26-28, 2019, to build on the long partnership between USTDA and Algeria.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Mr. Kress’ visit is part of U.S. efforts to partner with Algerians on economic development.  USTDA supports infrastructure development, job creation, technology transfer and market-oriented reform. It also supports feasibility studies that are tailored to the needs of Algerian authorities and that encourage U.S. companies to bid on projects in Algeria<\/p>\n

Sonatrach CEO Rachid Hachichi received Mr. Kress to continue planning a proposed reverse trade mission to the United States to connect Sonatrach leaders with U.S. companies who have equipment, services and technologies that can support Algeria’s energy development goals.<\/p>\n

Sonelgaz CEO Chahar Boulakhras received Mr. Kress as part of the proceedings for technical collaboration between the two parties. Mr. Boulakhras expressed his satisfaction with the previous USTDA-funded training for Sonelgaz staff.  Under an agreement signed during Mr. Kress’s last visit to Algeria, USTDA funded executive and senior management-level training for Sonelgaz, to support “annual management, leadership and business training” to Sonelgaz Group executives and senior leadership staff, through training delivered by General Electric.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kress also met with the board of the American Chamber of Commerce in Algiers to discuss how best to promote U.S.-Algerian economic partnership.<\/p>\n

The U.S. government hopes such partnerships between the U.S. and Algeria will have an important, long-term, and positive impact on both countries’ economic growth. <\/p>\n
