Since the beginning of the 1990s, Algeria has realized the great importance of the Mediterranean Circle for its national security as an independent circle from the Maghreb and Africa with different natures of interactions and threats, the position of this circle has become central to the Algerian security strategy, it is a behavior that more devoted in the emergence of a set of geo-security factors, as well as some threats (confidence-building measures with Northern shore Countries, terrorism, immigration..), over time, that led to the formation of Algerian interest in the Mediterranean. Algeria's engagement in the various structures of security and cooperation for Mediterranean space, proposed for the Northern shore actor initiatives (States and institutions), reflects its growing interest in this space. Especially in the era of reshaping the map of geopolitical alliances following the turmoil in the international system, where Algeria is going through a stage of adaptation and consolidation of its foreign policy doctrine to reposition its strategic position in the Mediterranean dimension based on energy security diplomacy, Algeria is Europe's first African natural gas exporter and the seventh largest exporter in the world.
