A New Opportunity for Tunisia to Reaffirm National Priorities
Tunisia's Ambassador to the European Union, Sahbi Khalfallah, represented the country at the first meeting of the joint group of high-level officials between the European Union and southern Mediterranean partner countries, focusing on the "Mediterranean Pact." This meeting provided a new opportunity for Tunisia to reaffirm its national priorities within a balanced regional partnership based on the principles of equality and respect for the sovereign choices of peoples, according to a statement released by the Tunisian Embassy in Brussels on its official Facebook page.
Launch of Action Plan with Concrete Projects
Following the meeting, an action plan including a first list of concrete projects was launched as part of the Mediterranean Pact.
Background on the Mediterranean Pact
The "Mediterranean Pact" is an official strategic partnership framework launched by the European Union in November 2025, marking the 30th anniversary of the "Barcelona Declaration" (1995). The pact aims to strengthen economic, political, and security cooperation with southern and eastern Mediterranean countries. It focuses on major axes such as economic cooperation, investment, youth and women empowerment, migration management, and security, with the goal of creating a prosperous and resilient common area capable of addressing current challenges.
The Barcelona Declaration
For reference, the "Barcelona Declaration" (launched during the 1995 Barcelona Conference) laid the groundwork for a new regional partnership for Euro-Mediterranean cooperation. During the conference, foreign ministers from the European Union and 12 southern and eastern Mediterranean countries signed an ambitious agreement on Euro-Mediterranean partnership.
