TUNIS, March 30 -- Tunisian Prime Minister Youssef Chahed met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Tunis Afrique Presse (TAP) reported Saturday.
Guterres said his visit to Tunisia will be an opportunity to support Tunisia's efforts in its democratic transition.
According to TAP, the UN secretary-general called on the international community to support Tunisia through the promotion of local economic development, youth development and the creation of jobs.
"The economic difficulties and security challenges currently facing Tunisia are due to the direct impact of the Libyan crisis on Tunisia," said Guterres.
Tunisia will host a quadripartite meeting as part of the Arab League Summit, in the presence of the United Nations, the African Union, the European Union and the Arab League, to discuss ways of implementing the roadmap and organizing free elections in Libya before the end of the year.
