Chinese President Xi Jinping and Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune exchanged warm congratulations this week as their nations marked a milestone in space collaboration. The Algeria Remote Sensing Satellite, launched from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on January 31, 2026, represents a leap forward in bilateral tech cooperation.
The project, developed jointly by engineers from both countries, will provide high-resolution Earth observation data for environmental monitoring and disaster response across Africa. 🌍 President Xi called it "a shining example of South-South cooperation," while President Tebboune praised the partnership as "a new chapter in Algeria-China innovation ties."
Young tech enthusiasts are buzzing about the launch on social media, with many calling it "the ultimate cross-continent collab." The achievement comes as China strengthens space partnerships under its Belt and Road Initiative, with Algeria becoming its first African partner in satellite development.
