\"Algeria<\/p>\n

Algeria has begun the process of cancelling its air services agreement with the United Arab Emirates, signed in Abu Dhabi in May 2013, state media said on Saturday.<\/p>\n

It gave no immediate reason for the move, but Algerian media outlets have strongly criticised the UAE in recent months, accusing it of attempting to sow regional discord.<\/p>\n

“Algeria has initiated procedures to terminate the air services agreement with the United Arab Emirates, signed in Abu Dhabi on 13 May 2013 and ratified by a presidential decree dated 30 December 2014,” the North African country’s state-owned radio said.<\/p>\n

“Under Article 22 of the agreement, the Emirati side must be formally notified of the termination through diplomatic channels. The Secretary-General of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) will also be notified to undertake the necessary procedures within the organization.”<\/p>\n

There was no immediate comment from the UAE.<\/p>\n

In October last year, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune said his country’s relations with all Gulf states were warm except for one country, in a thinly veiled reference to the UAE.<\/p>\n

He cited relations with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar as “brotherly”.<\/p>\n

He accused the unnamed country of meddling in Algeria’s internal affairs and seeking to destabilise it.<\/p>\n
