Tunisia-Japan bilateral relations and economic cooperation

Overview

Tunisia and Japan have reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral relations, marking the 70th anniversary of their diplomatic ties. During meetings in Tunis between Tunisian Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Mohamed Ben Ayed and Japanese Ambassador Saito Jun, officials discussed expanding the legal framework for exchanges to attract more Japanese investment into Tunisia. This follows commitments made during the Tunisian Head of Government’s visit to Japan for the ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development in August 2025.

Economic cooperation has continued to manifest in the industrial sector, highlighted by Ambassador Saito Jun’s visit to the Industries Mécaniques Maghrébines (IMM) Isuzu vehicle production site in Kairouan. This visit underscored the partnership regarding the assembly of Isuzu utility vehicles and trucks, which supports the local automotive sector and employment.
