Tunisia and Senegal Step Up Cooperation

Tunisia and Senegal are taking their cooperation to the next level, moving beyond mere intentions to create a concrete roadmap for transforming their tourism and handicraft cooperation.

Strengthening Bilateral Cooperation

The Tunisian Minister of Tourism, Sofiane Tekaya, received the Senegalese Ambassador to Tunisia, Moustapha Sow, to reinforce bilateral cooperation in tourism and handicrafts. This rapprochement took shape on February 9, 2026, in Tunis, during a warm exchange between Sofiane Tekaya and Moustapha Sow. At the heart of the discussions was the idea of building on past successes to shape the future.

Focus on Tunisian Expertise

Senegal is particularly interested in Tunisia's expertise in training, with the Sidi Dhrif school being a key area of focus. The idea is simple: share expertise, modernize agreements, and present a united front at major international events.

Upcoming Cultural Festivals and Exhibitions

Soon, cultural festivals and cross-exhibitions of handicrafts will bring this partnership to life, highlighting the richness of both countries. By working together, Tunisia and Senegal aim to create a thriving tourism and handicraft industry that showcases the best of both nations.
