Tunisia continues to face security challenges, including from instability in Libya. The UK has a strong partnership with Tunisia on security issues. This has helped strengthen our response to the shared challenges of terrorism and extremism, reducing the threat to British nationals and Tunisians alike. The UK also works closely with Tunisia to support economic and political reform, strengthening Tunisia's democratic institutions, and helping build the country's resilience.
