Tunis — Minister of Investment and International Cooperation of the Republic of Sudan, Ahlam Madani Mahdi, said that participating in the COMESA Investment Forum 2024 is an opportunity to learn about Tunisia’s experience in attracting foreign investment and building economic partnerships.
Madani Mahdi’s remarks came during a meeting with Minister of Economy and Planning Feryel Ouerghi in Tunis on Wednesday to discuss mechanisms to further strengthen cooperation between the two countries, especially at the level of investment and partnership.
