His Eminence Professor Dr. Ali Qaradaghi, President of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, accompanied by Professor Dr. Ali Sallabi, Secretary-General of the International Union of Muslim Scholars, made a visit to Algeria on February 23. This visit was in response to a formal invitation from the Minister of Religious Affairs and the Dean of the Grand Mosque, for the opening ceremony of the mosque, in the presence of His Excellency President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. Representatives of the Union's president later joined the delegation to participate in the activities held on the sidelines of the visit, namely Sheikh Mohammed El Hassan Al-Dido, Sheikh Dr. Issam Al-Bashir, and Sheikh Dr. Muhammad Ghurmz.
