History

Tunisia has adhered to the One-China policy and, like a majority of countries, recognizes the PRC as the sole legitimate government of "China" and Taiwan and all other islands controlled by the Republic of China (ROC) are recognized by Tunisia as part of PRC's territory as Tunisia does not recognize the ROC as legitimate.[3]

In 1967, disagreements between the Tunisian government and the Chinese embassy resulted in the suspension of relations.[1]: 346  Bilateral relations resumed in 1971.[1]: 346 

Bilateral visits

Former Chinese President Jiang Zemin had visited Tunisia in April 2002 and had signed a series of economic, technical and financial support along with cultural cooperation agreements.

From 2000 to 2011, there are approximately 15 Chinese official development finance projects identified in Tunisia through various media reports.[4] These projects range from $4.6 million worth of in-kind humanitarian assistance to Tunisia in 2011,[5] to a technical and economic co-operation agreement in 2011,[6] and an in-kind grant of RMB30 million to construct two dams in the Tataouine Governorate in South Tunisia.[7]
