Tunisia Express Solidarity with China

The Mediterranean Development Initiative (MDI), a non-profit organization in Tunisia, organized a mini-concert on Saturday to express solidarity with China in the fight against the novel coronavirus.

The event took place in the Sadika space, a prestigious cultural space located in the northern suburbs of the capital city of Tunis.

The mini-concert was attended by the Chinese Ambassador to Tunisia Wang Wenbin, as well as Tunisian academics and intellectuals.

"Since the spread of the epidemic in China, the Tunisian government and Tunisian people from all backgrounds expressed their support to us, which touched us deeply," Wang said.

For his part, MDI President Ghazi Ben Ahmed said he was confident in China's ability to combat this new virus.

"Everyone admires the courage, selflessness and nationalism of the Chinese people in their fight against COVID-19," Ben Ahmed told Xinhua.

The Tunisian artists performed four musical pieces called "Purity", "Worry", "Sidi Bou Said" and "Fehri Real's."

In order to show solidarity with the Chinese people, people attended the concert attached to purple ribbons to a big tree.
