Tunisia bilateral economic cooperation efforts

Overview

Tunisia is engaging in various bilateral efforts to strengthen its international economic and strategic ties.

In discussions with Thailand, officials addressed a significant trade deficit where Tunisian imports, such as automobiles and industrial machinery, outweigh exports. Both nations identified sectors including olive oil, dates, seafood, and IT services to diversify and balance bilateral trade.

Separately, Tunisia and Belgium have expressed intentions to expand economic cooperation and move toward a strategic partnership. Discussions between the Tunisian Foreign Minister and the Belgian Ambassador focused on increasing investment, higher education, and tourism. A Walloon economic mission is planned for late 2026 to target sectors such as renewable energy, water, and waste management, while both parties also addressed human mobility and professional pathways.
