This post emphasised the importance of cultural exchange during her trip and highlighted the historical significance of Algeria's landmarks. Earlier in the day, President Murmu was awarded an Honourary Doctorate in Political Science by the Sidi Abdellah Science and Technology Pole University, Algiers III.
Speaking at the ceremony, she expressed her gratitude, stating, "It is, indeed a humbling experience for me to be honoured with the Honorary Doctorate. This is an honour for my country more than for me as an individual. It is always a pleasure to address young minds in the universities brimming with confidence dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge that directly impacts national development missions."
Kamal Baddari, the Algerian Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, presented her with the doctorate. President Murmu's visit to Algeria is part of her larger three-nation tour of Algeria, Mauritania and Malawi, which aims to strengthen diplomatic, educational, and cultural ties between India and these nations. As her state visit draws to a close, President Murmu will be departing from Malawi on October 19 with renewed hopes for deeper engagement and collaboration between the four countries in the years to come.
