Germany is looking for gas deals with Algeria to diversify its supply, Berlin's foreign minister said in Algiers on Tuesday, where he joined a business delegation visiting the North African country.

"We need to diversify...We need long-term gas contracts," Johann Wadephul told German public broadcaster ZDF on the second day of his trip, as concerns grow in Germany that gas storage depots are only half full as autumn nears.

Wadephul said that he would meet with Energy Minister Mourad Adjal and that representatives of German companies looking for long-term contracts were travelling with him.
