Pedro Sánchez to Visit Algeria in July: A Move That Concerns Morocco

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will make an official visit to Algeria on July 20, 2026, his first since the 2022 diplomatic crisis. The crisis erupted after Spain backed Morocco's autonomy plan for the Sahara, prompting Algeria to suspend its friendship treaty and impose trade restrictions. For Moroccan expats, this visit raises questions about shifting regional alliances. Sánchez will meet President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and attend a business forum to revive bilateral trade. Relations have slowly improved since Algeria appointed a new ambassador to Spain in late 2023. This trip comes as Morocco strengthens its diplomatic standing, with U.S. recognition and growing European support. Moroccan expats in Spain should monitor potential impacts on trade and consular services. Stay tuned for updates as both governments release official statements.
