In this context, they expressed their shared willingness to develop relations of friendship and cooperation between the people of Tunisia and Monaco. For his part, Nabil Ammar stressed the need to combat the negative effects of climate change and to improve employment opportunities, particularly for young people, who are an important factor for economic stability and growth.
