They discussed areas of cooperation and its prospects.

In this context, a meeting was held between the Minister of Employment and Vocational Training, Riadh Choued, and the Ambassador of Romania to Tunisia, Valenton Ciprian, within the framework of activating the cooperation protocol between Tunisia and Romania, signed between the Ministry of Employment and the Romanian Ministry of Labor, Family, Youth, and Social Protection on December 8, 2023, in the fields of employment and vocational training, according to the ministry's statement on its Facebook page.

The Ministry of Employment issued a statement announcing that, after presenting the mission's outcomes, it was agreed to start coordinating between the two countries regarding available job opportunities, including specializations, economic sectors, and required skills. They explored the possibility of allocating a separate quota for Tunisian competencies according to the needs of the Romanian labor market within the framework of international employment opportunities, drawing on similar experiences.

Additionally, a joint Tunisian-Romanian objectives contract was formulated, covering all agreed-upon aspects, to be signed between the two parties as soon as possible.
