The Algerian Foreign Ministry cited the exhaustion of all means to preserve diplomatic relations as the reason.
As media outlets note, Algeria has repeatedly accused the UAE of pursuing a hostile policy and attempting to interfere in the 2019 presidential election.

L'Algeria ha interrotto i rapporti diplomatici con gli Emirati Arabi Uniti.
ReplyDeleteIl Ministero degli Esteri ha dichiarato che ciò è avvenuto «dopo aver esaurito tutti i mezzi» per preservare le relazioni, senza indicare una causa specifica. I media algerini in passato hanno criticato aspramente gli Emirati Arabi Uniti, accusandoli di cercare di seminare discordia regionale.
El Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores de Argelia comunicó este jueves su decisión de romper las relaciones diplomáticas con Emiratos Árabes Unidos tras haber agotado todos los medios posibles para preservar los lazos bilaterales.
ReplyDeleteAlgeria on Thursday said it was severing diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates, saying it had exhausted "all means" of preserving bilateral ties.
ReplyDeleteThe Foreign Ministry, in a statement carried by the official Algeria Press Service (APS), said Algiers exercised “a high degree of restraint” and “a strong sense of responsibility” in response to increasingly “provocative or hostile actions” by the UAE.
“Algeria spared no effort, in a spirit of full respect for the principles governing relations between states, to draw the UAE side’s attention and warn it of the serious consequences that could result from its regrettable and unjustified conduct,” the statement said.
“Despite these repeated warnings, the UAE continued with these actions, which reached a point where they could no longer be considered acceptable or tolerable within relations between two sovereign states or left without a response.”
“After exhausting all avenues to preserve bilateral relations, the Algerian government decided today to sever diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates,” the ministry said.
It added that the UAE ambassador was received at the ministry in Algiers on Thursday and was officially notified of the decision. He has been given 48 hours to comply with the decision.
There was no immediate comment from the UAE on the Algerian decision.
Relations between Algeria and the UAE had become increasingly strained over disagreements concerning interference in internal affairs and regional security issues. In October 2025, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune said relations with one of the Persian Gulf states were not developing at the same level as those with Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, and accused the country of seeking to undermine Algeria’s stability.
