The bilateral record

No dedicated encyclopedia entry exists for United Arab Emirates–Tunisia relations, so this section draws on the general Foreign relations of Tunisia article. It records the following, reproduced with attribution:

Former President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali has maintained Tunisia's long-time policy of seeking good relations with the West, while playing an active role in Arab and African regional bodies. President Habib Bourguiba took a nonaligned stance but emphasized close relations with Europe, Pakistan, and the United States.
