BoV Tunisia hosts business delegation

Officials from Bank of Valletta's representative offfice in Tunisia recently hosted a Tunisian business delegation.

The delegation visited Malta for the seminar 'Doing business with Tunisia' at the Malta Chamber of Commerce, Enterprise and Industry. Maltese Ambassador to Tunisia Vicki Ann Cremona was also present for the occasion.

Julian Holland, manager BoV Tunisia, who welcomed the guests, said the bank was fully geared to assist Maltese and Tunisian businesses. "We can organise match-making events, arrange B-to-B meetings, as well as facilitate business partnerships, which are so essential for the penetration of new markets.

The BoV Tunisia office wants to extend its cooperation and business relationship services to Maltese and foreign companies that have a presence in the region.

Tunisia has a strong bilateral agreement with the EU, and Malta's strategic location on the confines of the EU and the eurozone offers a platform from which business between Europe and North Africa can be conducted, said Mr Holland.

BoV Tunisia also has a close working relationship with the main Tunisian government agencies responsible for import/export, foreign direct investment and small and medium-sized enterprises, a network that can be of benefit to the Maltese business community.
