Foreign Minister Noureddine Erray held a phone conversation with his US analogue Mike Pompeo concentrating on bilateral relationships and approaches to encourage them, as well as regional and international issues of common interest.
The two sides stressed the powerful ties between Tunisia and the US, especially its strategic character. They manifested dedication to promote bilateral partnership in diverse fields. Erray stated Tunisia’s solidarity with the United States of America in its fight against COVID-19.
He praised the assistance of the US administration to the Tunisian-French resolution approved by the Security Council, which calls for activating international solidarity in the fight against the health crisis and its repercussions.
The minister also applauded the US continued support provided to Tunisia to help it meet economic, social and financial challenges.
The US Secretary of State reaffirmed his country’s continued support for Tunisia’s “successful” democratic transition experience, emphasising the commitment to continue extending the cooperation with Tunisia in the political, economic and security fields.
The two sides exchanged views on regional and international issues, first and foremost the Palestinian cause and the situation in Libya.
Erray declared the necessity to support efforts to relaunch the political process in Libya in order to reach a Libyan-led political solution under the aegis of the United Nations and based on the resolutions of international legality.
The two Ministers agreed to continue consultations and coordination and to step up the exchange of visits between senior officials of both countries.
