now give the floor to his excellency Sophian Shahib, Secretary of State to the Minister of Foreign Affairs in charge of national community abroad of Algeria. Mr. President, your excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, migration through the ages has been companion to the march of human urbanization. phenomenon closely related to its evolution and transformation. Despite our common quest to make migration conscious choice rather than an imposed necessity, the world continues to see millions of people move every year in search of better opportunities for life and Algeria long seen as country of origin and transit country is now increasingly country of destination. This shift reflects the development dynamics and stability which made us an attractive space for migrants. In light of this transformation, Algeria under the guidance of the president Abdul Majita Boon adopted comprehensive and balanced approach to managing migration based on first addressing the root causes of migration. Migration is not just human movement. It is often an echo of development imbalances and reflection of conflicts. In this sense, development must be at the heart of managing the migration file without neglecting the security dimension, especially with regard to combating smuggling networks. In this context, Algeria is implementing projects aimed at improving living conditions in migration exporting countries thereby enhancing the stability of population in their countries of origin. Second, cooperation as strategic choice. Migration is by its nature crossber phenomenon and no country whatever its capabilities can deal with it by itself. Therefore, Algeria has made cooperation key pillar in its approach through development of bilateral tripartite and multilateral mechanisms in cooperation with and other partners. Third, full respect for human rights. Algeria deals with migrants on its territory in humane spirit based on the values of hospitality and solidarity. We are committed to ensuring the dignity and humanity of the human person free from all forms of discrimination or exclusion. In closing, we although we reaffirm the sovereign right of states to develop policies and legal frameworks that they deem appropriate to regulate the phenomenon in line with their national interests, we are fully aware that effectively dealing with the phenomenon of migration requires us to rise to the level of collective responsibility and to move beyond the logic of narrow interests. We need an approach that represents our collective commitment to implementing the SGS. Only then can migration shift from compelling necessity to free choice, from silent suffering to shared human horizon. thank you. thank the Secretary of State, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Algeria,
