Foreign Minister Othman Jerandi reminded of Tunisia’s endeavours to serve Arab interests during its term as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council.

He reiterated Tunisia’s constant position on the just Palestinian cause and called for intensifying joint action to further support the Palestinian people’s legitimate claims.

Tunisia is fully supportive of the political process underway in Libya in such a way as to restore security and guarantee stability in the country, the whole region and neighbouring countries, in particular.

Jerandi also strongly condemned attacks on Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates and said Tunisia firmly rejects all acts of aggression against their security and sovereignty.
