Forty-five Tunisian businessmen operating in various economic sectors started a prospecting visit to Valletta (Malta's capital) on Sunday, which will last until May 25.

This delegation of Tunisian businessmen seeks to forge partnerships to access the Maltese market in several fields such as health, security and environment as a well-developed sector in Malta, stated to TAP Mourad Bacha, Director of Preventis, a company specialized in the prevention and control of occupational hazards.

This economic mission aims to foster the Tunisian-Maltese economic relations and to study ways to boost economic trade between the two countries in several fields such as drug industry, agriculture, industry, studies and computer security, he specified.

Organized by CONECT in partnership with the Tunisian Embassy in Malta, the Maltese Embassy to Tunisia, Malta Enterprise and Malta Chamber, this third post-COVID economic mission comes after two other successful missions to Senegal and Mauritania.

It will be an opportunity to have meetings with Maltese business leaders and senior officials in order to build alliances and conclude strategic partnership contracts, he indicated.

Malta recorded in 2021 a growth rate of about 5.7%, an inflation rate of 2% and an unemployment rate of 3.6%, while the share of the individual in the GDP is estimated at €28.955 billion.
