In a ceremony held at the historic Palace of Cartago, the ambassador of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela to the Tunisian Republic, Reinaldo Bolívar, presented Credentials to the president of the African country Kaïs Saïed this Wednesday.

In the protocol activity, President Saïed mentioned his work as a professor of Constitutional Law, in which he studied the Constitutions enacted by Simon Bolivar in the 19th century and the current Constitution of 1999.

He stressed that his presidential administration has been inspired by political codes and supreme norms such as those of the Venezuelan Magna Carta, citing as an example Article 308 as a legal basis for strengthening the country's economic development, through popular initiative.

The recently re-elected Tunisian President reflected on the similarities between Venezuela and Tunisia, which provide security for a strengthening of cultural, economic and commercial cooperation.

For his part, the Venezuelan diplomat referred to the common but little known history of Venezuela and Tunisia, considering that a large part of Our America comes from greater Tunisia (Cartago), which went from the African Maghreb to the Iberian Peninsula, an issue that Simon Bolivar referred to when he said that Venezuelans were more African than European.

Reinaldo Bolívar, who as Deputy Minister for Africa reopened the Tunisian Embassy in 2011, stated that his mission was to strengthen ties of friendship, alliance, based on multisectoral and political cooperation, on common visions for the peoples of the South.

Tunisia, a country in North Africa, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, is the heir to the great Carthaginian culture, one of the three main tourist destinations in Africa, and one of the five leading olive oil producers in the world.
