(ANSAmed) - TUNIS, JANUARY 22 - More than 80 Italian
construction companies on Tuesday met with Algerian leaders and
entrepreneurs to discuss 51/49 joint venture possibilities.
The event was organized by Italy's foreign trade commission
(ICE) and Italy's national construction association (ANCE)
following a agreement signed in December by Algerian Housing and
Development Minister Abdelmajid Tebboune and Italian deputy
transportation minister, Mario Ciaccia, to create bilateral
joint ventures to build 100,000 new public housing units.
''Algeria needs partnerships that will transfer technology
and modern construction methods, and create jobs for young
Algerians,'' commented Housing and Development Ministry
Secretary General Boulares Ali. (ANSAmed).
