"We are convinced that women’s entrepreneurship is one of the success factors in diversifying the Algerian economy " He added that in Algeria the breakthrough of women in government and parliament where a mandatory 35% quota reserved to women, is not the result of chance but the The result of a national policy instigated by the President of the Republic, His Excellency Abdelaziz Bouteflika”
