TEHRAN – Iran and Tunisia have agreed to revive economic and tourism cooperation and are preparing to reconvene a joint economic commission after years of suspension, sources reported following a visit by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to Tunis.

Araghchi met Tunisian President Kais Saied on Wednesday, covering bilateral issues and regional developments, including the conflict in Gaza, according to Iranian ambassador to Tunisia .

“Both countries have the political will to develop and deepen bilateral relations. My visit to Tunisia is taking place within this framework,” Araghchi told reporters at the Iranian Embassy.

Hosseinian said the two sides had agreed to expand cooperation in tourism, with discussions under way on launching direct flights between Tehran and Tunis. Charter flights have been operating twice a week since July.
Araghchi also held talks with Tunisian Foreign Minister Mohamed Ali Nafti, where both sides reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral ties, Hosseinian said.
