Key Initiatives
In the framework of this initiative, a workshop dedicated to trade in services brought together public and private sector stakeholders from Tunisia, fostering exchanges and discussions on measures to modernize the sector. During the opening, Swedish Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission Joakim Svahn emphasized the strategic role of trade in services as a driver of economic modernization and a source of opportunities for Tunisia.
Commitment to Cooperation
The Swedish Embassy reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Tunisia in realizing its economic potential, stimulating job creation, and building sustainable bridges between the Swedish and Tunisian economies. This cooperation reflects a shared desire to support reforms, improve competitiveness, and encourage investment in the services sector, considered a key lever for the country's economic development.
Partnership and Inclusivity
The project, with its partnership-based approach and inclusive methodology, marks an important step towards a more integrated and performing trade in services, contributing to strengthening Tunisia's position in regional and international value chains.
