According to news agency Sputnik, “This appeal for aid is a part of friendly relationships between Tunisia and Russia. Tunisia, like many other countries, is handling unparalleled health and economic crisis. We need respirators, masks and medical equipment that will help provide services in public hospitals”, the ambassador said.
Tunisia, he added, highly values Russia’s health care system.
“Tunisia, a country close to Italy, valued the support provided by Russia to this neighbouring friendly country”, the diplomat said.
According to the ambassador, Russia has promised to look into Tunisia’s request.
“Tunisia wishes for a step forward from Russia, which has promised to consider our request. This can only confirm the quality of friendly and fraternal relations between our countries and our peoples”, he stated.
In late April, the Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed that a number of Middle Eastern nations had asked Moscow for help to combat the coronavirus.
