Tunisia: Foreign Relations
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of their cooperation with the government of Tunisia on (1) intelligence, and (2) defence matters.
- Answer
-
The UK has engaged in long-standing cooperation with Tunisia across a range of areas, in particular in relation to defence and security. We support the strengthening of Tunisia's capabilities to contribute to regional stability, including through its UN peacekeeping role in Africa. Tunisia is also a Mediterranean Dialogue partner for NATO. The visit of the Defence Senior Advisor for the Middle East and North Africa's (DSAME) in February 2025 included senior level discussions on how to strengthen cooperation moving forward. Bilateral UK-Tunisia defence cooperation is delivered in full compliance with international standards and principles.
As with all countries, we keep our travel advice to Tunisia under regular review.
