Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has arrived in Moscow on an official visit.
The plane with the leader of Algeria landed at the international airport "Vnukovo-2" at 20:45 local time.
A guard of honor lined up at the gangway. The military band played the anthems of the two countries.
The meeting of the distinguished guest was attended by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov.
Earlier in June, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed newspaper reported, citing sources, that the Algeria's president was set to visit Russia to discuss "relations between the two countries before signing the document on deepening the strategic partnership."
The new document will complement the strategic partnership agreement inked between Russia and Algeria in 2001, according to the report.
In mid-May, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said that Tebboune's visit was being prepared.
