Dr. Iman Ahmed Al Salami, UAE Ambassador to the Republic of Tunisia; and officials from public and private entities in both
countries, as well as representatives of international organizations and startups in the agriculture and food security sectors,

H.E. Bin Touq emphasized the broad prospects for enhancing bilateral cooperation between the UAE and Tunisia in the food,
agriculture, and food security sectors. He noted that these sectors are a fundamental pillar of both countries’ efforts to achieve
sustainable food security and boost local production. This reflects the UAE’s commitment to advancing economic cooperation

Tunisian private sectors and to explore new prospects and partnerships in the sector by exchanging expertise and
experiences in developing the food value chain and creating sustainable solutions for food security. It also serves as a
distinguished platform to showcase the UAE’s achievements in the food sector and highlight the country’s pioneering
capabilities in food manufacturing, advanced agricultural technologies, and sustainable food security initiatives.”
