Tunisian Foreign Minister Mohamed Ali Nafti has expressed his country's solidarity with Arab nations against any threats to their security, stability, and territorial integrity. During a meeting with his Kuwaiti counterpart, Sheikh Jراح Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, Nafti emphasized the importance of diplomacy and dialogue in resolving regional conflicts. The meeting took place on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly.

The two ministers highlighted the strong brotherly relations and cooperation between Tunisia and Kuwait, and discussed ways to further enhance and develop these ties. They agreed to review and update the legal frameworks governing their cooperation to serve the interests of both countries. The meeting also provided an opportunity to prepare for upcoming bilateral events, including the Tunisian-Kuwaiti joint committee.

Nafti and Al-Sabah stressed the need for continued consultation and coordination on regional and international issues of mutual interest. The Kuwaiti minister praised Tunisia's commitment to promoting Arab solidarity and emphasized the importance of respecting international law, particularly with regard to freedom of commercial navigation. This, he said, was crucial for maintaining international supply chains and protecting the economic and vital interests of regional countries.

The Tunisian Foreign Minister's call for diplomacy and dialogue comes amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The region has been plagued by conflicts, including the Israeli-Palestinian issue, which has seen a recent escalation in violence. Tunisia has previously expressed its concern over the situation, warning of the potential for further deterioration.

In a related development, the Secretary-General of the United Nations has expressed his organization's readiness to work closely with Tunisia to address regional challenges. This commitment was made during a recent meeting, highlighting the importance of international cooperation in resolving regional conflicts.

Tunisia's emphasis on diplomacy and dialogue is seen as a positive step towards achieving this goal. The country's efforts to promote Arab solidarity and cooperation with other regional nations are also expected to contribute to the stability of the region.
