“As a Tunisian and Arab, proud of his African, Arabic and Mediterranean roots, I consider Egypt the heart of Arabism, Africa’s gate and the bridge that links the past and future, Tunisia is the cradle of history, culture, art and the motherland that deserves all support, especially during this time”, said Mr El-Ghribi.

Mr El-Ghribi underscored the significance of strengthening the historical connections between the pillars of the Mediterranean and the return of relationships to the previous era of their activity so that the two forces meet again and unite in order to draw one future for the North Africa region and the Mediterranean basin, adding that nothing can weaken the strong connection that unites the two countries.

“Egypt is the heart of the East and Tunisia is Africa’s gate, the crossing to Europe, and the bridge that links the North to the South, thus less than an hour separates the European and African continents, and this is what can be used and exploited in order for Tunisia to be a tourist and therapeutic destination for the European citizen”, adds our speaker.

The businessman voiced his confidence in the scientific, cultural and strategic capabilities of both Tunisia and Egypt, stressing that the Arab-Mediterranean cooperation will be a strong supporter of Mediterranean relations not only at the health level but likewise at the level of exchanging experiences and the Tunisian labour that has a fine reputation on the global scale.

The same source confirmed that the recruitment of nurses by the San Donato Medical Complex is a gateway to organized immigration in the health sector or in other sectors that may comprise agriculture, construction and other sectors, to be a substitute for illegal immigration with all the excesses accompanying it as well as its security consequences and the social and the tragedies that it leaves.
