Tunisia appreciates Jordan's
"effective" role in reaching a just and comprehensive solution to the
Palestinian issue and supports the Hashemite Custodianship as a basic pillar
for the Palestinian cause, Tunisian Ambassador to Khaled Suhail, said, according
to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.

Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday
at the embassy, the envoy also pointed to the continued
Jordanian-Tunisian
coordination, consultation, and the two countries' shared visions at various
levels and fields, in light of the "distinguished relations, which
witnessed a qualitative leap and momentum in recent years."
Suhail made reference to scheduled
consultative talks on the
Palestinian issue under the Arab League's umbrella. He also referred to Jordan's solidarity with
his country during the COVID-19 pandemic through dispatching medical and
humanitarian aid under Royal directives.
With regard to joint trade cooperation,
the envoy said 2021 witnessed a "remarkable" development for the
first time, as trade exchange reached 107 million Tunisian dinars ($37 million),
up by 18 percent, despite obstacles in this regard, most notably the lack of
direct maritime freight and air routes between the two countries.
To enhance future action, he called for
harnessing Jordan's geographical location and Tunisia's privilege as a gateway
to promoting trade and economic cooperation, adding that the Joint
Jordanian-Tunisian Higher Committee will hold its 10th session this year.
The diplomat said that the majority of
recommendations issued by the joint higher committee, which was held in early
2018, were implemented, as 33 joint sectoral committees' meetings were held,
despite the global health conditions in 2021, while 15 joint committees were
formed in various fields.
