Tunisia and China are looking to strengthen their economic cooperation by accelerating the implementation of a memorandum of understanding. The agreement, which was signed earlier, aims to establish a joint working group to explore ways to stimulate Chinese investments in Tunisia. The initiative was discussed during a meeting between Tunisia's Minister of Economy and Planning, Samir Abdelhafidh, and Chinese Ambassador to Tunisia, Wan Li.

The meeting, which took place on Wednesday, focused on reviewing the current state and future prospects of economic cooperation between the two nations. The discussions also centered on identifying opportunities to further enhance bilateral economic relations. According to a statement released by the Ministry of Economy and Planning on Thursday, both parties emphasized the importance of building on the existing cooperation.

The upcoming Forum on China-Africa Cooperation was also on the agenda, with both sides recognizing its potential to consolidate economic relations, not only between Tunisia and China but also within the African context. The forum offers a platform to leverage available financial and technical mechanisms to support economic and social development.

The joint working group is expected to play a crucial role in promoting Chinese investments in Tunisia. The two countries are keen on exploring new avenues for economic collaboration, with a focus on stimulating growth and development. By accelerating the implementation of the memorandum of understanding, Tunisia and China aim to take their economic partnership to the next level.

The Ministry of Economy and Planning has been actively working to attract foreign investments, including those from China. The government's efforts to create a favorable business environment and stimulate economic growth have been ongoing. The cooperation with China is seen as a strategic move to boost Tunisia's economic prospects.
