Canada in Tunisia

Tunisia is one of Canada’s oldest partners in Africa, and the oldest in the Maghreb (North Africa). The Canadian Embassy, the first in the Maghreb, was inaugurated in Tunis in 1966. Our mission is to represent Canadian interests in a variety of fields: political, economic, trade, cooperation, culture and education.
