IOC – TUNISIA

Tunis / 03.11.2021
Executive Director Abdellatif Ghedira meets Tunisian Foreign Minister Othman Jerandi in Tunis. The IOC delegation was on an official working visit to Tunisia, as part of its institutional mandate, during the 15th edition of SIAMAP 2021.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Immigration and Tunisians Abroad, H.E. Othman Jerandi, welcomed Abdellatif Ghedira, Executive Director of the International Olive Council, and Mounir Fourati, the Head of the External Relations Department of the IOC, at the ministry’s headquarters. The IOC delegation was on an official working visit to Tunisia, as part of its institutional mandate, during the 15th edition of SIAMAP 2021, the international exhibition of agriculture, agricultural machinery and fishing. At the meeting, the Minister stressed the importance of strengthening cooperation with the IOC for Tunisia, given the considerable economic, commercial and societal role of the olive sector in Tunisia.

The Executive Director explained the activities and initiatives implemented by the Council to support cooperation between Member States and the challenges facing the sector. He stressed the importance of Tunisia following the major transformations that characterise the international olive oil market due to globalization. Mr Ghedira also recalled the importance of the unanimous commitment of the Tunisian delegation to the next session of the Council of Members of the IOC, which will be held in Georgia from 24 to 26 November 2021. He encouraged Tunisia to strengthen partnerships between its professionals and emerging countries in the olive sector to expand the network of contacts and ensure collaboration through the exchange of technical and scientific information at international level.

The Minister thanked the Executive Director for his commitment at the head of the Organisation and confirmed Tunisia’s willingness to continue to support the national olive sector and to assist the IOC, its sister countries and friends, by offering Tunisian know-how on olive issues.
