A Tunéziai Köztársaság budapesti nagykövetsége részt vett az Afrika Napja alkalmából rendezett ünnepségen, amelyet 2026. június 1-jén az ELTE Budapesti Egyetem Bölcsészettudományi Karának konferenciatermében tartottak, és amelyet a „Magyarországon akkreditált afrikai országok nagyköveteinek csoportja” szervezett a következő mottó alatt: „Afrikai Nap 2026 Fórum: partnerségek építése a vízbiztonság és a fenntartható fejlődés érdekében”.
A rendezvény programja egy tudományos szimpóziumot tartalmazott a vízgazdálkodás, a vízbiztonság és a fenntartható fejlődés témakörében, amelyet egy vitafórum követett, amelynek célja az volt, hogy véleményt cseréljenek az Afrika és Magyarország közötti együttműködés és partnerség kilátásairól ezen a létfontosságú területen, valamint áttekintsék az ezzel kapcsolatos kihívásokat és a tudományos és gazdasági együttműködés és partnerség által kínált lehetőségeket.
Ebben az összefüggésben érdemes megemlíteni a nagykövetség aktív részvételét e Magyarországon első alkalommal megrendezett esemény szervezésében, amelyre a diplomáciai testület, valamint számos magyar hivatalos kör, egyetemek és civil társadalmi szervezetek képviselői nagy érdeklődést tanúsítottak. A nagykövetség képviseltette magát a rendezvény szervezőbizottságában, amely a tunéziai, egyiptomi, marokkói és nigériai nagykövetségek diplomáciai képviselőiből állt, emellett egy tunéziai standdal is hozzájárult a rendezvényhez, amely tükrözte a tunéziai kulturális örökség gazdagságát, sokszínűségét és afrikai gyökereit.
A magyarországi különböző együttműködési csoportok rendezvényeihez hasonlóan, amelyekben a misszió részt vesz, a tunéziai stand nagy népszerűségnek örvendett a látogatók és a résztvevők körében, akiknek lehetőségük nyílt megismerni a tunéziai örökség egyes elemeit, felfedezni országunk kulturális és turisztikai sokszínűségét, valamint részt venni a tunéziai konyhaművészet számos specialitásának kóstolóján.

بمناسبة الاحتفال بعيد الأضحى المبارك، يسعد سفارة الجمهورية التونسية لدى المجر وسلوفاكيا بأن تتقدم إلى كافة أبنائنا التونسيات والتونسيين بخالص التهاني وأطيب الأمنيات، راجية من الله العزيز القدير أن يعيد هذه المناسبة عليهم وعلى ذويهم بموفور الصحة والعافية ودوام الخير واليمن والبركات.
وكل عام وأنتم بخير.

On the instructions of His Excellency the President of the Republic and at the invitation of his Egyptian counterpart, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad, Mr. Mohamed Ali Nafti, will participate, on 21 May 2026 in Cairo, in the meeting of the Tripartite Consultative Mechanism on Libya, together with Mr. Badr Abdelatty, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Egyptians Abroad of the Arab Republic of Egypt, and Mr. Ahmed Attaf, Minister of State, Minister of Foreign Affairs, the National Community Abroad and African Affairs of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria.
The meeting will address ways to support and back the efforts of our Libyan brothers to achieve their aspirations for a consensual political solution that preserves Libya’s unity and strengthens its security and stability, as well as regional and international efforts and cooperation with the United Nations Support Mission in Libya to continue supporting and encouraging Libyan-Libyan dialogue in order to reach the required settlement.

Mr. Mohamed Ali Nafti, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad, received today, Monday, 18 May 2026, Mr. Azouz Samri, Chief of Mission of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Tunisia.
The meeting provided an opportunity to review the outcomes of the Voluntary Return and Reintegration Programme for irregular migrants. The IOM Chief of Mission in Tunisia indicated that the number of beneficiaries of this programme has reached 22,377 irregular migrants since its launch in 2022 to date, including 2,103 during 2026 up to now. He also noted that the Organization is currently preparing to facilitate the voluntary return of approximately 400 additional irregular migrants in the near future.
In this context, the Minister commended the efforts undertaken by the Organization to ensure the voluntary return of irregular migrants to their countries of origin, in full respect of human rights and the preservation of human dignity. He also stressed the importance of accelerating the pace of voluntary return operations, while ensuring the provision of necessary social support as well as logistical and health assistance to guarantee the sustainability and effectiveness of returns.
He further called for strengthened coordination and intensified joint efforts, as well as the development of mechanisms that encourage voluntary return, offering better opportunities for reintegration in countries of origin and contributing to the promotion of solidarity-based development approaches.
For his part, the IOM Chief of Mission in Tunisia praised Tunisia’s comprehensive approach to addressing irregular migration, which is fundamentally based on best practices centered on the respect and protection of migrants’ rights and the fight against all forms of human trafficking and organized crime networks.
The meeting also addressed the various ongoing cooperation programmes between Tunisia and the International Organization for Migration, particularly projects related to integration and development, such as the “Helma” project, which aims to enhance social and economic integration opportunities for youth most vulnerable to irregular migration and for vulnerable groups through skills development and tailored training, as well as the “Mobi-TRE” project, which seeks to mobilize investments and expertise from the Tunisian diaspora to support economic development in inland regions and contribute to the creation of sustainable employment opportunities for young people.

Today, 15 May 2026, marks the seventy-eighth anniversary of Nakba Day, on which we recall the struggle of the brave Palestinian people and their heroic steadfastness against the arrogance of the occupying authorities, in pursuit of their legitimate aspirations to live in freedom and dignity in an independent and sovereign State on all the land of Palestine.
This anniversary coincides with the continued violations by the occupying authorities of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, and the tightening of the siege on its residents through the closure of crossings, the prevention of humanitarian aid from entering, and restrictions on the movement of persons, which has led to the worsening of the humanitarian catastrophe endured by the people of the Strip.
It also comes as the authorities of the occupying entity persist in enacting racist laws, such as the law on the ex*****on of Palestinian prisoners, and in pursuing policies of annexing Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank and registering it under the name of the entity’s State, with the aim of expanding settlement and creating a new fait accompli to impose its alleged sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory, in flagrant violation of all relevant international laws and conventions.
On this symbolic anniversary, Tunisia renews its reverence and admiration for the heroic steadfastness of the brotherly Palestinian people, who stand alone in the face of the arrogance and tyranny of the occupying entity and the brutality of its military arsenal, amid the disturbing silence of the international community, thus inscribing, in letters of gold, a new historic epic, unparalleled in human history, in their ongoing struggle to recover their usurped lands and restore all their legitimate historical rights in full and without diminution.
Tunisia reminds that Palestine is a State under international law and is recognized by nearly 150 countries, and that the time has come to grant it its legitimate right to full membership in the United Nations, without further procrastination or delay.
On this occasion, Tunisia reiterates its unconditional support for the brotherly Palestinian people in defending their inalienable and imprescriptible right, and affirms its steadfast position in support of our Palestinian brothers in their right to self-determination and in their struggle to restore all their legitimate historical rights and establish their State on all the land of Palestine, with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.

يصادف اليوم، 15 ماي 2026، الذكرى الثامنة والسبعين ليوم النكبة، الذي نستحضر فيه مسيرة كفاح الشّعب الفلسطيني الأبيّ وصموده البطولي ضد غطرسة سلطات الاحتلال الغاشم، من أجل تحقيق تطلّعاته المشروعة في العيش بحرية وكرامة في ظلّ دولة مستقلّة وذات سيادة على كامل أرض فلسطين.
ويتزامن احياء هذه الذكرى مع تواصل انتهاكات سلطات الاحتلال لاتفاق وقف إطلاق النار في قطاع غزة وتضييق الخناق على سكانه من خلال غلق المعابر ومنع دخول المساعدات الانسانية وتقييد حركة الأشخاص مما أدى إلى استفحال الكارثة الانسانية التي يعيشها سكان القطاع.
كما تتزامن هذه الذكرى مع تمادي سلطات الكيان المحتل في سن القوانين العنصرية كقانون اعدام الأسرى الفلسطينيين، وفي اعتماد سياسات ضم الأراضي الفلسطينية في الضفة الغربية المحتلة وتسجيلها باسم دولة الكيان، بهدف توسيع رقعة الاستيطان وخلق أمر واقع جديد لفرض سيادته المزعومة على الأرض الفلسطينية المحتلة، وذلك في انتهاك صارخ لكافة القوانين والمواثيق الدولية ذات الصلة.
وتجدد تونس في هذه الذكرى الرمزية وقوفها اجلالا واكبارا للصمود البطولي للشعب الفلسطيني الشقيق الذي يُواجه بمفرده غطرسة وطُغيان الكيان المحتّل ووحشيّة ترسانته العسكرية، أمام صمتٍ مريبٍ للمجتمع الدولي، ليُسطّر، بأحرف من ذهب، ملحمة تاريخيّة جديدة، لم تشهدها الإنسانية، في نضاله المتواصل من أجل استرداد أراضيه المغتصبة واستعادة حقوقه التاريخية المشروعة كاملة دون نقصان.
وتذكّر تونس أن فلسطين دولة بمقتضى القانون الدولي وباعتراف ما يناهز ال 150 دولة وأنه قد آن أوان منحها حقها المشروع في العضوية الكاملة بمنظمة الأمم المتّحدة دون مزيد من المماطلة والتأخير.
وتُجدّد تونس، بهذه المناسبة، دعمها غير المشروط للشعب الفلسطيني الشقيق في الذود عن حقه غير القابل للتصرّف والذي لا يسقط بالتقادم، وتؤكّد على موقفها الثابت والمناصر للأشقاء الفلسطينيين في تقرير مصيرهم وفي نضالهم من أجل استعادة حقوقهم التاريخية المشروعة كاملة وإقامة دولتهم على كامل أرض فلسطين وعاصمتها القدس الشريف.

***************************
Aujourd’hui, 15 mai 2026, marque le soixante-dix-huitième anniversaire de la Nakba, une occasion où nous rappelons le parcours de lutte du fier peuple palestinien et sa résistance héroïque face à l’arrogance des forces d’occupation oppressives, afin de réaliser ses aspirations légitimes à vivre dans la liberté et la dignité au sein d’un État indépendant et souverain sur l’ensemble du territoire palestinien.
La commémoration de cet anniversaire coïncide avec la poursuite des violations par les forces d’occupation de l’accord de cessez-le-feu dans la Bande de Gaza, ainsi qu’avec le resserrement du blocus imposé à ses habitants à travers la fermeture des points de passage, l’interdiction de l’entrée de l’aide humanitaire et les restrictions à la circulation des personnes, ce qui a aggravé la catastrophe humanitaire que subissent les habitants du territoire.
Cet anniversaire coïncide également avec la persistance des autorités de l’entité occupante à promulguer des lois discriminatoires, telles que la loi sur l’exécution des prisonniers palestiniens, ainsi qu’à adopter des politiques d’annexion des terres palestiniennes en Cisjordanie occupée et à les enregistrer au nom de l’État occupant, dans le but d’étendre les colonies et de créer un nouveau fait accompli visant à affirmer sa prétendue souveraineté sur les territoires palestiniens occupés, en violation flagrante de toutes les lois et conventions internationales pertinentes.
À l’occasion de cette date symbolique, la Tunisie réaffirme son admiration et son profond respect pour la résistance héroïque du peuple palestinien frère, qui affronte seul l’arrogance, la tyrannie de l’entité occupante et la brutalité de son arsenal militaire, face à un silence inquiétant de la communauté internationale. Il écrit ainsi, en lettres d’or, une nouvelle épopée historique sans précédent dans l’histoire de l’humanité, à travers sa lutte continue pour récupérer ses terres usurpées et restaurer pleinement ses droits historiques légitimes.
La Tunisie rappelle également que la Palestine est un État au regard du droit international et qu’elle est reconnue par près de 150 États. Elle estime qu’il est désormais temps de lui accorder son droit légitime à une adhésion pleine et entière à l’Organisation des Nations Unies, sans davantage de tergiversations ni de re**rd.
La Tunisie renouvelle également, en cette occasion, son soutien inconditionnel au peuple palestinien frère dans la défense de son droit inaliénable et imprescriptible, et réaffirme sa position constante de soutien aux Palestiniens dans leur droit à l’autodétermination, dans leur lutte pour la récupération intégrale de leurs droits historiques légitimes et pour l’établissement de leur État sur l’ensemble du territoire palestinien avec Al-Qods Al-Charif comme capitale.

Mr. Mohamed Ali Nafti, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad, held a working session, on 13 May 2026 at the Ministry’s headquarters, with Mr Jorge Moreira da Silva, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS), who is on a working visit to Tunisia on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the opening of the UN office in Tunisia. The meeting was attended by the Office’s Regional Director for Africa and the UN Resident Coordinator in Tunisia.
The session provided an opportunity to underscore the depth of the cooperation and partnership between Tunisia and the United Nations system, built on mutual trust, dialogue, and a shared commitment to the principles of multilateralism and international solidarity. It also highlighted the steady progress in cooperation with UNOPS since 2006, with the Minister commending the role played by the UN office in supporting Tunisia’s development efforts, particularly in the areas of health, project management, infrastructure development, institutional support, logistics, and procurement.
It is worth noting that the UN office is currently implementing 18 projects in Tunisia worth approximately US$74.6 million, in addition to projects completed over the past years whose total value exceeded US$133 million, reflecting the mutual trust and effectiveness of the partnership between the two sides.
In this context, the Minister stressed that the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the establishment of the UN office in Tunisia represents an important milestone for assessing two decades of fruitful cooperation and for looking ahead to a new phase of partnership that is more strategic, integrated, and effective. He affirmed Tunisia’s keenness to strengthen cooperation with the UN office in a number of priority sectors, especially energy transition, climate change adaptation, water resource management, food security, digital transformation, sustainable infrastructure, youth employment, and women’s empowerment.
For his part, the Under-Secretary-General commended Tunisia’s commitment to the purposes and objectives of the United Nations and its engagement in a number of initiatives aimed at improving the organization’s mechanisms and strengthening its operational capacity to respond to growing challenges. He also affirmed the United Nations’ readiness to enhance cooperation with Tunisia in line with the needs identified by the Tunisian State, in a way that serves the goals of comprehensive development and the national priorities of Tunisia.
The meeting also addressed the preparation of the strategic cooperation framework between Tunisia and the United Nations system for the period 2027–2031, stressing the need for this framework to be aligned with the national priorities to be embodied in the 2026–2030 National Development Plan, and to adopt a results-based approach focused on tangible impact and sustainability, in addition to the importance of mobilizing innovative and concessional financing, strengthening technology and knowledge transfer, and supporting national capacities.
The discussion also covered the initiative launched under the auspices of the UN Secretary-General to ensure the continued transport of fertilizers through the Strait of Hormuz, thereby contributing to global food security and reducing disruptions to agricultural supply chains, while noting the operational role played by the Organization in this regard.
At the end of the meeting, both sides renewed their commitment to ensure the follow-up on the outcomes of the session and agreed to organize a workshop in the coming period to develop a roadmap for future cooperation between the two sides, based on Tunisia’s needs in various fields and on the capabilities and expertise available to the UN office.

Mr. Riadh Ferchichi, Chargé d’Affaires a.i. at the Embassy of the Republic of Tunisia in Budapest, attended the reception organised today by the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the presence of Ms Anita Orbán, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary.

The reception forms part of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ series of receptions for heads of diplomatic missions accredited to Hungary following the inauguration of the new Hungarian government on 12 May 2026, and reflects its commitment to emphasising the importance of continuing to strengthen cooperation and partnership between Hungary and friendly nations.

In this context, it is worth noting that the Tunisian mission also participated in the first session of the Hungarian Parliament following the legislative elections of 12 April 2026 and the inauguration of the new Hungarian government, which were held on 9 and 12 May 2026 respectively at the Hungarian Parliament building in Budapest, in light of the deep historical ties between the two countries and their celebration in 2026 of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between them in 1956 🇹🇳 🇭🇺

---------------------------------

Riadh Ferchichi úr, a Tunéziai Köztársaság budapesti nagykövetségének ideiglenes ügyvivője részt vett a Magyar Külügyminisztérium által ma rendezett fogadáson, amelyen jelen volt Anita Orbán asszony, Magyarország miniszterelnök-helyettese és külügyminisztere is.

A fogadás a Magyar Külügyminisztérium által a 2026. május 12-én beiktatott új magyar kormányt követően a Magyarországra akkreditált diplomáciai képviseletek vezetőinek szervezett fogadássorozat része, és tükrözi a minisztérium elkötelezettségét a Magyarország és a baráti nemzetek közötti együttműködés és partnerség további erősítésének fontosságának hangsúlyozása iránt.

Ebben az összefüggésben érdemes megjegyezni, hogy a tunéziai misszió részt vett a 2026. április 12-i parlamenti választásokat és az új magyar kormány beiktatását követő első magyar parlamenti ülésen is, amelyeket 2026. május 9-én, illetve 12-én tartottak a budapesti Országgyűlés épületében, tekintettel a két ország közötti mély történelmi kapcsolatokra és arra, hogy 2026-ban ünneplik a két ország közötti diplomáciai kapcsolatok 1956-os létesítésének 70. évfordulóját 🇹🇳 🇭🇺

Mr. Mohamed Ali Nafti, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad, took part on Friday, 8 May 2026 in Tunis, in the celebration of Europe Day, organized by the European Union Delegation to Tunisia, in the presence of Ambassadors of EU Member States, as well as a number of Tunisian personalities and members of the diplomatic corps.
In his address on this occasion, which coincides with the 76th anniversary of the “Schuman Declaration,” the Minister emphasized that Tunisia remains committed to the principles upon which its partnership with the European Union was built—a historic partnership that is called upon to evolve, becoming more balanced, equitable, and respectful of the national priorities and sovereign choices of each party. In this context, he noted that the Association Agreement, concluded more than three decades ago between the two sides, is no longer fully capable of responding to the profound changes affecting the global economy, as well as to the current and future repercussions of conflicts in Europe and the Middle East.
The Minister further stressed the importance of reviewing and upgrading the Tunisia–EU Association Agreement and ensuring a more balanced content, in line with the deep economic and geopolitical transformations of the current context. This includes, in particular, facilitating access to the European market, promoting high value-added investments, supporting the energy transition and digital transformation, and enhancing Tunisia’s integration into global value chains. He also expressed his aspiration to elevate this partnership to match Tunisia’s true human potential, a significant part of which resides in Europe and has contributed to its economic and scientific advancement.
On this occasion, the Minister praised the quality of Tunisia–EU cooperation in scientific, academic, cultural, and innovation fields, calling for efforts to ensure smoother human mobility for Tunisian students, researchers, businesspeople, and artists. He emphasized the importance of simplifying visa procedures to allow for the optimal utilization of the significant capacities and talents of Tunisian human capital in Europe.
Addressing the issue of migration, the Minister reaffirmed Tunisia’s commitment to a comprehensive and balanced approach based on shared responsibility, the promotion of legal migration pathways, and the fight against migrant smuggling networks. He reiterated Tunisia’s rejection of any attempt to classify it as a country of transit or settlement for irregular migrants, while underscoring the country’s support for voluntary return programs as the best means to preserve the dignity of victims and protect their rights.
With regard to the regional dimension of the Euro-Mediterranean partnership, the Minister welcomed efforts aimed at revitalizing the Mediterranean dimension of European policy, particularly through the development of a Mediterranean Pact. He expressed hope for the launch of structural, sustainable, and multidisciplinary projects capable of enhancing integration and development across the region.
He also reaffirmed that Tunisia’s commitment to democracy stems from a free and conscious national choice, deeply rooted in state institutions and in the legitimate aspirations of the Tunisian people for dignity, justice, and stability. In this context, he stressed that the Tunisian Constitution enshrines adherence to universal values of human rights and fundamental freedoms, while emphasizing that the exercise of rights and freedoms must remain within the framework of respect for the law and state institutions.
The Minister concluded his remarks by reiterating Tunisia’s commitment to developing a balanced, forward-looking, and mutually supportive partnership with the European Union, grounded in respect for Tunisia’s national sovereignty and serving the shared interests of the peoples on both shores of the Mediterranean.
