From a Tunisian perspective, as articulated by Thouraya Khayati and Jalel Tabib of FIPA, the chamber's establishment is particularly valuable. Tunisia's strategic location offers a gateway to African and European markets, and the increasing Turkish investments, especially in textiles, automotive, and potentially olive oil as noted by Murat Belhassen and Murat Tรผrkan, demonstrate the tangible benefits of this partnership. The chamber is expected to streamline investment procedures and foster stronger business-to-business connections.

Tunisia benefits from a strategic position allowing access to African and European markets.
