One of the central elements of the partnership is the signing of a substantial loan agreement amounting to 10 million Kuwaiti Dinars, aimed at enhancing Tunisia's critical infrastructure. This loan, facilitated through the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development, is earmarked for upgrading Tunisia's phosphate transport railway lines. The initiative seeks to revitalize the nation’s mining sector, a cornerstone of its economy, by improving logistics and export capacities.
In addition to infrastructure development, the agreements cover a broad spectrum of fields, including labor exchange in the private sector, air services, and industrial exports. These measures are expected to catalyze economic activities and create new employment opportunities, fostering robust economic links between the two countries. Cooperation in meteorology, climate sciences, and tourism has also been prioritized, underlining the importance of sustainable and environmentally conscious development in bilateral agendas.
Highlighting the significance of the agreements, Minister Al-Nafti pointed to the need for modernizing legal frameworks governing trade relations. He stressed the role of the private sector as a key driver in enhancing economic partnerships. Meanwhile, Minister Al-Yahya lauded the longstanding ties between Kuwait and Tunisia, describing the commission as an exemplary model of Arab cooperation. He noted that Kuwait was among the first Arab nations to invest in Tunisia, citing the Tunisian-Kuwaiti Consortium of Development established in 1976 as a testament to enduring collaboration.
