The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Immigration and Tunisians Abroad stated that at the invitation of the Minister Mr. Nabil Ammar, the Syrian Foreign Minister, Mr. Faisal Mokdad, will pay a working visit to Tunisia from April 17 to 19.

The visit is a concrete expression of the ties of brotherhood between the two countries and the restoration of bilateral relations, particularly following the appointment of a Tunisian ambassador to Syria and the decision to reopen the Syrian embassy in Tunisia, according to the Ministry.

Diplomatic relations with Syria were interrupted in 2012 by former Tunisian President, Mr. Moncef Marzouki, which caused a large controversy in Tunisia.

On March 11, 2023, President of the Republic, Mr. Kais Saïed, decided to resume diplomatic relations with Syria and appoint an ambassador to Damascus.
