Algerian Elections
Press Statement
Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
May 12, 2012
I
would like to congratulate the people of Algeria on this week's
elections. The Government of Algeria invited international and
non-governmental organizations to send observation missions and
conducted elections that provided the Algerian people with the
opportunity to express their will. These elections -- and the high
number of women elected -- are a welcome step in Algeria's progress
toward democratic reform. The United States looks forward to working
together with the newly elected National Popular Assembly and to
continuing to strengthen our ties with the government and the people of
Algeria.
