| About The Embassy |
| |
An Office of South African Interests was established in Tunis in 1993. After the elections in 1994, relations were formalised with an agreement to elevate the status of the Office of Interests to that of an Embassy. On the 9th of June 1994, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Alfred Nzo, official opened the South African Embassy in Tunis.
South Africa and Tunisia enjoy a very healthy and mutually beneficial political and economic relationship. This relationship was further strengthened in 1996 when the inaugural session of the Joint Bilateral Commission between South Africa and Tunisia was held in Tunis. The third session of the Joint Commission was again held in Tunis during April 2001 and the Commission largely focused on enhancing relations in the fields of Trade and Investment; Health; Tourism, and Environmental Affairs; Arts & Culture, Science & Technology; and political consultations regarding Foreign Relations. |
