Tunisia-President Kais Saied talks with Portuguese counterpart

President Kais Saied had a phone conversation with Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo De Sousa about approaches to deal with international matters in a various method and with a new approach.

The Portuguese President praised President Saied’s initiative to resort to the UN Security Council, recognising that issues of concern to mankind can be settled only within the framework of conventional institutions.

For his part, the head of the state pointed out that several legal concepts and instruments that were in force for centuries are now outdated.

People have come closer together and strive for the same goals and share the same values.

The issue of border shutdown and other preventive measures remain provisional, he noted. The solution rests in mutual aid and cooperation among nations and peoples, he said.

President Marcelo Rebelo De Sousa said he was convinced of the need to develop UN institutions to better adapt them to this new stage in the history of mankind.
