"The defense of our country and the preservation of its sovereignty today are also the concern of all. [...] This calls on us to intensify and federate efforts to face all the threats and dangers that threaten our country, whatever their nature and origin [...]," the general said at the opening of a seminar on "the role of the national media in strengthening the internal front and facing hostile plans targeting Algeria."

For this senior military official, it is up to all Algerians to act in a way that is in tune with the developments taking place in the world on various levels and in multiple fields, and to federate efforts to merge them into the same crucible, namely to serve Algeria and its supreme interest and preserve its security and stability.

"The national media play a pivotal role in strengthening and reinforcing adherence to shield our homeland from all dangers, threats and scourges," he added, before calling to counter the media challenges generated by information and communication technologies.
