The telephone conversation centred on the privileged relationships of friendship and collaboration between the two countries and the means to increase them in all fields.

Noureddine Erray praised, on this occurrence, the dynamic that distinguishes Tunisian-British relations, applauding the support given by Great Britain to the process of democratic transition in Tunisia and the social and economic challenges encountered.

The meeting also provided an opportunity to discuss the process related to the draft resolution submitted to the Security Council, which gives concrete expression to the initiative of the President of the Republic calling on all United Nations bodies, and first and foremost the Security Council, to assume their responsibility in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, the same source added.

Both sides stressed in this regard the importance of coordinating efforts to activate the principle of international solidarity in the face of the consequences of the pandemic crisis and the threat it poses to the health of mankind as well as security and peace in the world.
