Russia shifts Tunisia focus to Konect
Russia is seeking to revitalize its economic presence in Tunisia, taking advantage of the crisis faced by the Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT), the Tunisian Confederation of Industry, Trade, and Handicrafts. Moscow has turned to CONACT, a competitor of the UGTT, to organize its commercial and economic activities in Tunisia, as part of its efforts to maintain communication channels with the Tunisian business community and expand its trade relations—especially as the bilateral ties between the two countries grow stronger in areas such as trade, energy, and tourism. Additionally, Tunisia has been gradually beginning to receive shipments of Russian oil, a development that aligns with Moscow’s efforts to diversify its partners and strengthen its presence in Africa. At the same time, Tunisia is also working to diversify its foreign relations and secure its energy and essential needs. Reports indicate that Russia’s move through CONACT is considered particularly significant due to the role of the UGTT in facilitating economic relations between Tunisian institutions and foreign companies, with Moscow seeking to increase its influence in North Africa amid rising international competition over resources and strategic influence.
