NOUAKCHOTT (Mauritania) - In a new qualitative achievement reflecting the prestigious position held by the Algerian Red Crescent at both the Arab and international levels, its participation in the 50th Session of the General Assembly of the Arab Organization for Red Crescent and Red Cross, held in the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott, culminated in its election by an absolute majority to the position of Deputy Secretary-General of the organization. This milestone reflects its growing presence within the leadership bodies of Arab humanitarian work.

This achievement holds particular significance as it represents the continuation of an upward trajectory for the Algerian Red Crescent within the organization's structures, following its election during the previous session as a member of the Executive Committee. This confirms the growing trust it enjoys at the Arab level and solidifies the position it has come to occupy as an active partner in shaping the strategic directions of joint Arab humanitarian action.

This election is of special importance as it coincides with the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Arab Organization for Red Crescent and Red Cross. Headquartered in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, the organization serves as the umbrella framework for Arab national societies active in the humanitarian and relief fields.

This milestone represents the culmination of the honorable path of the Algerian Red Crescent, which continues its prominent presence in various regional and international forums, reaffirming its steadfast commitment to the values of humanity, volunteerism, and solidarity, and its active contribution to the development of joint Arab humanitarian work.
