The discussions took place during a telephone conversation
between Turkmenistan's Foreign Minister Rashid Meredov and
Tunisia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration, and Tunisians

During the call, the sides focused on enhancing trade and
economic cooperation, including increasing trade exchanges,
promoting participation in exhibitions in both countries, and
facilitating the exchange of business delegations. They also
discussed opportunities to expand investment cooperation across
various sectors.


Particular attention was paid to developing cultural and tourism
ties, as well as strengthening the legal framework governing
bilateral relations in order to broaden cooperation into new
areas.


The ministers also exchanged views on key regional and
international issues, reaffirming their commitment to continued
coordination within multilateral platforms, particularly the United
Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, to support
efforts aimed at enhancing peace and security at both regional and
global levels.







For reference, Tunisia has maintained diplomatic representation
in Ashgabat, with the Tunisian ambassador presenting credentials to
Turkmen authorities in July 2023.


On June 25, 2024, political consultations were held via
videoconference between the foreign ministries of both countries,
during which officials discussed expanding cooperation in trade,
investment, tourism, and agriculture and emphasized the importance
of strengthening the legal framework of bilateral relations.


In August 2025, Tunisian representatives also participated in
the Third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing
Countries (LLDC3), held in Turkmenistan’s Avaza National Tourist
Zone, which served as a platform for broader multilateral
engagement and discussions on sustainable development and
international cooperation.
