Tunisia: President Kais Saied on Wednesday afternoon received Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Araghchi, according to a Presidency of the Republic press release.
According to Agence Tunis Afrique Presse, the Head of State addressed the regional situation and the systematic targeting of the region's security and stability, particularly developments in occupied Palestine. He reaffirmed Tunisia's steadfast position in support of the Palestinian people's right to recover all of Palestine and establish an independent, fully sovereign state with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.
President Saied emphasized that 'all humanity stands up today against the Zionist entity and its ongoing crimes, and is in the process of establishing a new human legitimacy founded on justice, freedom, and genuine emancipation from all forms of domination and hegemony.'
He highlighted that the ongoing war of extermination and daily crimes committed in full view of the world will never break the steadfast will of the Palestinian people to achieve liberation, pursue their struggle, and reclaim all their legitimate rights. He affirmed that 'determination, resilience, and an iron will for liberation will not be broken, neither by bombs and missiles nor by starvation and displacement schemes.'
President Saied also explained that among the Zionist enemy's plans is to sow discord and sow the seeds of strife among the members of the same nation and even among members of the same people, underlining that such schemes will not succeed, despite the illusion that they might achieve their objectives of fueling internal conflict, partition, and state destruction.
On another note, President Saied recalled the deep long-standing relations binding Tunisia and Iran and the fraternal bonds uniting their two peoples. He pointed out the need to further scale up bilateral cooperation in various fields, notably economy, tourism, science, and culture, and to seize opportunities for partnership that would enhance solidarity and serve the two countries' shared interests.
