Activities by Ambassador Baali in Chicago
Chicago Welcomes the Honorable Baali Abdallah Ambassador of Algeria to the United States of America. Full day of activities were planned including a special meeting with The Mayor of Chicago Richard Daley and the Chicago Olympic Committee Director and her staff.
Algeria will need to step up to plate and develop a partnership with the windy city said the Mayor. The Ambassador explored the cooperation with academia in Chicago and Algeria and met with Dr. Flaherty Dean of the largest medical campus in the United States.
The Dean was extremely positive on opening the door to possible cooperation with Algerian medical schools through fellowship and internships exchanges. Two of key head departments and world known surgeons of the department of Neurosurgery and Orthopedics were among the university of Illinois medical professor who welcomed the Ambassador.
The Compétence Algérienne Chicago organized by Professor Farid Amirouche was in force welcoming the Algerian Ambassador in the afternoon of March 13th. The Ambassador brought cheers and hope for change on how to do business in Washington.
‚ÄúComp√©tence Algérienne Chicago‚Äù learnt firsthand on some ambitious projects being undertaken by the Ambassador. He outlined all the current changes at the consulate level, website and staff that are helping improve the services and answer the needs of the Algerian community in the US.
