Algeria played a key role in Bangladesh's induction into the Organization of the Islamic Conference following the latter's independence from Pakistan in 1971. Algerian President Houari Boumediene traveled to Bangladesh to take Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on a special plane to the Islamic Summit in Lahore in 1974.
Algeria is one of the few countries that, despite being a majority Sunni Arab country, has been friendly towards mostly Shia Iran. Although enjoying a cordial relationship, at times relations between two countries have been strained, such as during the Algerian Civil War in the 1990s, or with the current position of the Arab world towards Iran. Nonetheless, Algeria retains close and friendly ties with Iran due to its neutrality at the expense of Saudi Arabia.
