Foreign Minister stresses importance of AfCFTA for development of inter-African trade

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad, Nabil Ammar, stressed the importance of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) in the development of inter-African trade. In a speech delivered on Wednesday during his participation in the 44th ordinary session of the Executive Council of the African Union, Nabil Ammar also stressed the need to involve the private sector more in the promotion of Afro-African trade and the development of networks between African businessmen. He highlighted the measures taken by Tunisia to implement this major African achievement, in particular the recent accession of the Central Bank of Tunisia to the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS), according to a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Nabil Ammar also stressed Tunisia's support for the legal system of this mechanism and its willingness to share its commercial and economic experience with the structures of the African Continental Free Trade Area and with African countries.
