Stating that a new stage has been passed in the country during the meeting, Saied stated, “We are getting ready to get out of the exceptional situation in the country.
Blinken also hoped that the reforms to be made to return to normalcy in Tunisia would be implemented as soon as possible and noted that the US would continue its support to Tunisia.
President Kais Saied issued some new decrees on September 22, after the Parliament suspended its work on July 25 and dismissed the Prime Minister.
With these decrees, the president’s legislative and executive powers were expanded, and the interim committee that oversaw the constitutionality of bills was abolished.
In this process, the cabinet formed by the new Prime Minister Najla Bouden Romdhane, who was appointed by Saied, took the oath on October 11.
