Al-Arabiya, 29 January 2016- President Beji Caid Essebsi reaffirmed Tunisia’s support for Saudi Arabia’s foreign policy to repel any threat to its stability.
During an interview with Al-Arabiya.net, the Tunisian leader said his country would stand by its Gulf Arab neighbors and would work to further promote bilateral relations.
“Tunisia will certainly favor its Arab identity in the ongoing conflict within the Arab Gulf,” said Essebsi adding “the kingdom (of Saudi Arabia) is targeted and we have no option but to stand by it and support it.”
Essebsi embarked on a regional tour over the past two months  that included Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Bahrain.
He stressed that “Gulf States expressed enthusiasm towards supporting Tunisia” and that “the coming days will see a large and important Gulf meeting devoted to plan this support.”
