José Manuel Albares' visit to Algiers, suspended late on Sunday, postpones crucial issues between both countries. Businessmen are confident that the business relationship will recover regardless of the trip.
Algeria, an ally of the Sahrawis, withdrew its ambassador in Madrid when the letter in which Pedro Sánchez sent to the King of Morocco, Mohamed VI, was made public. Six months earlier, in the midst of a diplomatic crisis with Morocco, the Algerian authorities had suspended one of the two gas pipelines.
