Campbell calls for stronger links with Tunisia

Speaking in the House of Commons he said: “There are particular issues affecting the people of Tunisia that do not affect other north African countries.”

Addressing the Minister of State for Industrial Development, Desmond Swayne he asked: “Does the Minister agree that we should build on bilateral relationships between Tunisia and the UK, and strengthen those links between the two nations?”

Mr Swayne replied: “I agree with the hon. Gentleman, and we are straining to do that.

“Principally, Tunisia is very close to Libya, and that presents a significant difficulty.”
