President Kais Saied discussed the outcome of the Russia-Africa summit held in recent days, as well as bilateral meetings that took place on the sidelines of the summit, during a meeting on Monday with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad, Nabil Ammar. Saied reaffirmed Tunisia’s position of adhering to the constants of its foreign policy while maintaining its national sovereignty, which stems from the will of its people, and its position in favour of a new, fairer world order. He was quoted in a press release by the Presidency as saying that the peoples of the so-called developing countries were still suffering from the previous world order, «which had reached its limits, and that it was time for these countries to become active on the international scene.» The President of the Republic expressed Tunisia’s «pride in the respect it enjoys in all international forums as a result of its principled positions based on this new approach.» The meeting also discussed the diplomatic and consular reshuffle and the need to speed it up so that the new ambassadors and consuls can take up their posts as soon as possible. The need to apply objective criteria in the selection process was stressed so that the ambassadors «best represent Tunisia and put the interests of the homeland and the sovereignty of the state above all considerations,» according to the same statement.
