Tunisian President Kais Saied met with visiting Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani and Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi, during which the two sides agreed that immigration is not only a matter of security but needs a comprehensive answer from the governments.
They expressed a common desire to develop partnerships in various fields, said the statement.
