According to the APS agency, the decision is related to the steps taken by Spain in relation to the situation with Western Sahara.
“The position of the Spanish government is contrary to international law ... and contributes to the deterioration of the situation in Western Sahara and the entire region.
Therefore, Algeria has decided to immediately suspend the Treaty of Friendship, Good Neighborliness and Cooperation concluded with the Kingdom of Spain on October 8, 2002,” the statement says.
In March, the Algerian Foreign Ministry recalled its ambassador to Madrid for consultations after the Spanish authorities spoke out in support of Morocco's proposal to grant autonomy to Western Sahara.
