Tunisia has adopted a strategy of diversifying international partners in light of its emphasis on the independence of its relations with all partners, and despite its adherence to its partnership with the European Union, there are growing concerns among some European parties about the impact of Tunisia’s relations with China and Russia on the pace of common Tunisian-European interests, which may change the rules of the political game in the Maghreb region, and direct the equations of Tunisian international relations towards new paths.

It is worth noting that the European Union was one of the most important international parties supporting the democratic transition experience in Tunisia after the Arab Spring, and the long-term partnership between the two parties contributed to making the Union Tunisia’s first economic and trade partner, but trade exchanges between them – especially with Italy, France, and Germany – are in continuous decline, in contrast to the progress of trade exchanges with China and other regional parties.
