Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is expected to make a two-day official visit to Algeria in August, Algerian daily newspaper "Liberte" reported Monday.
During his visit, the Iranian leader will hold talks with his Algerian counterpart Abdelaziz Bouteflika aimed at reviving bilateral cooperation between the two countries, according to the daily.
Ahmadinejad was scheduled to make a technical stop-over in the Algerian capital last January after his tour of Latin America, which took him to Equator and Venezuela.
But Algerian authorities were later informed that the expected stop-over by the Iranian leader had been cancelled.
According to political analysts, strong foreign pressure due to the prevailing situation in Iran was the main reason behind the cancellation.
