He also praised the wisdom of Interior Minister Lt-General Shaikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa who currently chairs the 31st Session of the Arab Interior Ministers. The Tunisian minister added that his recent visit to Bahrain gains considerable significance and reflects the level of fraternal ties, citing the security cooperation agreement signed between the two countries during the visit of President Beji Caid Essebsi to Bahrain last year. The Tunisian minister said the agreement opens the vistas for more cooperation, joint work mechanisms, and mutual exchange of expertise in the interest of both countries and peoples.
