Cooperation between Tunisia and Canada in various fields falling under the Ministry of the Interior was the focus of a meeting held on Tuesday between Interior Minister Kamel Fekih and Canadian Ambassador to Tunisia, Lorraine Diguer. Existing bilateral cooperation covers areas such as community policing, combating violence against women and enhancing border surveillance and management capabilities, according to a ministry statement. The meeting, which was attended by a delegation accompanying the Ambassador, discussed ways to strengthen cooperation in the security sector. This includes pursuing positive steps towards the drafting of an agreement in this area, in addition to cooperation on decentralisation, which was identified as essential and worthy of support. Both parties reaffirmed their commitment to further enhance the level of cooperation that embodies the aspirations of both nations.
