Tunisia’s Saied says to restore diplomatic ties with Syria
TUNIS, Tunisia (AA) – Tunisian President Kais Saied has said he plans to restore diplomatic relations with the Syrian regime.
“Nothing can justify the absence of a Tunisian ambassador in Damascus and an ambassador from Syria in Tunis,” Saied said during a meeting with Foreign Minister Nabil Ammar that was broadcast by the Tunisian Presidency.
“The question of the regime in Syria concerns only the Syrian people, and we deal with the Syrian state,” he added.
Last month, Saied said he will upgrade his country’s diplomatic representation to Syria.
In 2017, Tunisia sent a diplomatic mission to Damascus. Flights were resumed the following year between the two countries.
Tunisia severed diplomatic relations with the Syrian regime in February 2012 over its brutal crackdown against pro-democracy protests.
