Tunis – Foreign Undersecretary Vincenzo Amendola was in Tunisia yesterday, where he met with the Ministers of the Interior, of Development and Cooperation, and of Agriculture. The visit, scheduled just days before the first anniversary of the Bardo Museum attacks, saw the Undersecretary pay tribute to the victims and allowed him to reiterate Italy’s strong support for Tunisia in all areas of bilateral cooperation. “Security, counter-terrorism, Libya’s stabilization, development cooperation and strengthening of economic relations were the main topics on the agenda – explains a note – The message that the Secretary Amendola sent to Tunisian institutions is that Italy is here, especially in this delicate phase in which Tunisia faces with determination the terrorist threat, as it happened with the recent jihadist attacks of Ben Guerdane. With the Interior Minister, Undersecretary Amendola assessed the excellent results achieved in bilateral cooperation in the field of migration, emphasizing the need and the desire to continue a common commitment on this delicate issue.” (9Colonne)
