Foreign Minister Tonio Borg has been invited for talks with the new Tunisian Foreign Minister, Ahmed Ouneies.
The two ministers had a phone conversation earlier today, just over a day after Mr Ouneies was appointed.
Dr Borg reiterated Malta’s backing for Tunisia’s drive towards political stability and confirmed the friendship which exists between the two countries.
The Tunisian minister said he greatly appreciated Dr Borg’s comments and invited Dr Borg to visit Tunis at the earliest opportunity.
Dr Borg hoped that Tunisia would be represented at the highest level at the 5+5 heads of government meeting in Malta in the middle of this year.
