FM meets with chair of French Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Armed Forces [Upd 1]

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad Nabil Ammar met Wednesday in Paris with Chair of the French Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Armed Forces Christian Cambon. “Senators will keep on supporting Tunisia’s efforts to put in place lasting democratic institutions which respond to the Tunisian people’s social and economic aspirations,” Cambon was quoted as saying in a Foreign Ministry press release. . The French official said he is willing to visit Tunisia. It is regretful, he added, that “some French media keep silent about this important visit.” Ammar, who started Tuesday a two-day visit to Paris, said Tunisia eyes stronger friendship and partnership relations as part of respect and mutual interests. “There is need to avoid any action which proves to be useless on the path of the preservation and development of relations between the two countries,” he added. The minister shed light on the process of democratic transition which Tunisia embraced on July 25, 2021, to put in place lasting democratic institutions meeting the legitimate aspirations of Tunisians. “Tunisia which gives nobody lessons does not accept any,” he further said. Tunisia hopes to establish relations of cooperation between the French Senate and the National Council of Regions and Districts which will see light of day shortly. “The talk demonstrated a convergence of views on the need for a larger measure of international solidarity and to explore innovative solutions amid policies and ways which proved to be inefficient and fruitless,” further reads the press release. Several regional and international issues took centre stage along with ways to address challenges brought about by the numerous crises across the globe and their negative impact on the region’s countries, mainly in relation to food and energy. Greater consultation is required, the two officials said, along with pooled efforts of the international community and increased solidarity to explore new solutions.
