Following talks with his counterpart, Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, in the United Arab Emirates, the foreign minister said all outside pressure on Tunisia could destabilize the country further.
According to MTI, Minister Szijjártó noted in a Facebook post that Tunisian President Kais Saied had recently suspended the country’s parliament and dismissed its prime minister. “Events in North Africa are very important for Europe, as we do not want another country to become a transit country for migration waves from sub-Saharan Africa,” he said. Minister Szijjártó and Al Nahyan agreed in a phone call that outside “tampering” with the situation could lead to destabilization.
