Tunisian Ambassador: We intend to encourage the Romanian businessmen to take advantage of the new potential offered by our country

Tunisia is a democratic country, less restrictive since the revolution in January, and now it provides new business opportunities for the Romanian businessmen, Tunisian Ambassador in Bucharest HE Saloua Bahri told a seminar 'Economic Opportunities in the New Political Context of the Tunisian Republic' held on Tuesday at the Romanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

'The democratization process in Tunisia is irreversible, we want to get rid of corruption, injustice and dictatorship once and for all and we intend to encourage the Romanian businessmen to take advantage of the new potential offered by our country. This is a chance that must be grasped,' said the Tunisian official.

Ambassador Saloua Bahri added that the economic relations between the two countries had evolved over the past years, the amount of trade increasing from 60 million dollars in 2006 to 200 million in 2010.

'I am positive that this figure will double in no time,' said Mrs Saloua Bahri, claiming that the Romanian-Tunisian economic relations are facilitated by their geographical proximity, the European Union legislation and free-trade agreements, as well as by the similarities and the understanding between the two peoples.

Mrs Bahri stressed that Tunis Air was engaged in talks with the Tarom company to resume the direct flights between the two countries, boosting both trade exchanges and tourism.

In his turn Mihai George, president of the Romania-Tunisia bilateral chamber, which was created in November 2009, said that the Tunisian market would be even more open after the political changes in the past few months and the promotion of opportunities they make available would grow, with many economic missions planned to be held in the period to come.

Several large and medium Tunisian investments have been made operational, like Coficab company in Arad (western Romania), a car cables manufacturer, or La Griffe, a textile manufacturer. The seminar 'Economic Opportunities in the New Political Context of the Tunisian Republic' accommodated about 50 officials representing Romanian companies and corporations.
