A certain dynamic trend has been observed in the exchange of visits between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria in recent years. During this period, mutual visits were made at different levels (minister and deputy minister, chairman of the parliament, head and deputy of the committee, chairman of the agency, ombudsman, sheikhs, and chairman of the court).
