Bouazaine explained that this objective depends essentially on the agreements Tunisia has signed, such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA).
He went on to say that Tunisia wanted to focus on Africa, although it was aware that there were still many challenges to overcome in order to capture its markets, including the lack of air and sea links, the small number of diplomatic missions and the lack of banking support.
