Reinvigorating the Maghreban union is a “key priority” for Tunisia’s foreign policy, underscored Tunisian Foreign Minister Rafik Abdessalam.
Revitalizing the Maghreb well help the countries of the region (Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya) achieve economic and political complementarity, said the Tunisian official in an interview published on Monday by Tunisian daily, Achorok.
To that end, he said, Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki will start on Wednesday a visit to Maghreban countries.
“Nothing justifies the blockage of the Maghreban process,” he stressed, highlighting the region’s homogeneity.
The Tunisian official also voiced hope that the Sahara issue will cease being a hindrance to the economic development of the Maghreb.
