We have to check if the sum of two negative integers is a negative integer.
Integers include all positive, zero and negative numbers excluding fractions.
For example:

− 15, − 5, − 2, − 3, 0, 2, 3, 45, 49

Note that,

− a + − b + = − a + b

Therefore, the sum of two negative integers is always negative and thus the given statement is true.
