§ Mr. MellorRelations between Britain and Algeria are becoming closer. I visited Algeria last September and the first meeting of the United Kingdom/Algerian joint commission took place in February. Both sides are agreed on the need to maintain this trend. The Algerian Foreign Minister has accepted an invitation to visit the United Kingdom, on dates yet to be fixed.
