Shake hands with the devil. Tunisia & GCC sign deal
Tunisia’s economic problems, some analysts might argue, could be resolved if it were to become a vassal of a GCC country and benefit from assistance. So far, that hasn’t happened, but the GCC bloc has moved forward with improving at least its collective relations with Tunisia, according to Saudi media.
The Secretary-General of the Cooperation Council (GCC), Jassem Mohamed Al Budaiwi, met in Tunisia on June 5th with Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration, and Tunisians Abroad, Nabil Ammar, Saudi Gazette reports.
Reportedly, both individuals signed a Memorandum of Understanding that aims to facilitate a better GCC-Tunisian bilateral relationship, according to Middle East Monitor,
