The Mediterranean Union project was at the core of the meeting on Thursday between President Ben Ali, with Mr. Henry Guaino the special envoy of France's President, Nicholas Sarkozy.

Following the meeting, Mr. Guaino said that the talks focused on the Mediterranean Union project "to which, he said, Tunisia is committed, together with France".

He added that "We examined all the aspects, as well as the possible problems relative to the union. We are convinced that Tunisia and France share the same views as to this project. Together, we will be able to launch this great historical project which places the Mediterranean at the center of European concerns and which strengthens the desire for unity among Mediterranean peoples, beyond the conflicts and tragedies that divide this region".

The meeting took place in the presence of the Minister of State, and official spokesman of the Presidency of the Republic, as well as the Ambassador of France in Tunis.
