"I have recently visited Russia twice, participated in the Russian-African summit in St. Petersburg and also visited Moscow. Both of these times were important for Tunisia's relations with Russia, and I hope that Sergey Lavrov's visit will increase support for these relations. We are very pleased with his visit," Ammar said.
"We are open [to cooperation] in all areas, and this must be supported. It is necessary for businessmen from both sides to meet and see the opportunities. Tunisia has always sought to diversify its relations, and Russia, as I said, is one of the important partners for Tunisia ... there are no obstacles, it is only necessary for both sides to find their own benefits," Ammar said.
"Earlier, an invitation to visit Tunisia was sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin. But our president has no objections to visiting Russia himself, it is only necessary to mention that the Russian president already has an invitation. We will be glad if he accepts it," Ammar said.
