Minister of Culture and Information Iyad bin Ameen Madani confirmed today that relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Tunisia are deep-rooted and that they share a number of things, including heritage, civilization and language. In a joint press conference with Tunisia's Minister of Culture and Protection of Heritage Mohamed Aziz Achour following their meeting in Tunis, Madani said the Saudi cultural week scheduled to open doors in Tunisia today is an attempt to give Tunisian public a glimpse of the cultural view in the Kingdom. He expressed hope that this would be a kick off of a continuous action of cultural exchange between the two countries. Tunisian cultural weeks and activities are welcome in Saudi Arabia as well, he said, adding that cultural cooperation is the base for all kinds of cooperation. He said cultural exchange creates rapprochement and amicability among peoples of the two countries.
