I had the distinct honour of being received by His Excellency Mr. Kais Saied, President of the Republic of Tunisia 🇹🇳, at the Carthage Palace, and benefiting from his insightful analysis and vision regarding the work and efforts of the African Union in the fields of sustainable development and the consolidation of peace and security, as well as expanding horizons of joint action and cooperation with the Republic of Tunisia.
This meeting was a valuable opportunity to discuss His Excellency’s vision for the development of joint African action and the imperative need to renew the concepts and mechanisms of continental cooperation — a practical necessity aimed at keeping pace with the transformations of our time and making continental action more effective and more aligned with the aspirations of African peoples for development, particularly as prevailing frameworks are no longer able to accommodate the profound changes reshaping the world we live in.
I also seized this happy occasion to convey to His Excellency the President of the Republic the greetings and esteem of His Excellency Mr. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, Chairperson of the African Union Commission, as well as the African Union Commission’s appreciation for Tunisia’s historic and steadfast support to the continental organisation, while commending, at the same time, the numerous contributions of Tunisian diplomacy in the service of African and international causes.
