Mrs. Caroline G. Weijers, Ambassador of the Netherlands in Tunis said her country has drawn up a new program designed to ease and develop partnership and bilateral investment by means of new joint-ventures between the two countries’ businesses. This program would also set up a fund, valued between 250,000 and 1.5 million euros, to help the two countries’ private companies develop new partnerships, the ambassador said during her talk, on Wednesday in Tunis, with Mrs. Wided Bouchamaoui, Tunisian Industry, Trade and Handicrafts chairwoman.
