Today, Army General SaĂŻd Chanegriha, the Chief of Staff of the People's National Army of Algeria, along with his delegation, visited the RDF HQs and was welcomed by General MK Mubarakh, the Chief of Defence Staff of the RDF.
He also extended a courtesy call to the Hon Minister of Defence, Mr. Juvenal Marizamunda, before receiving a briefing on RDF's transformation journey and regional security dynamics.
