A hundred French businessmen have accompanied French President Nicolas Sarkozy during his official visit to Tunisia. Among them: Jacques Saadé, CEO of CMA-CGM whose headquarters have been set on Euroméditerranée.

Key point of this business trip: the French Tunisian Business Forum, which gathered about 500 businessmen from the Medef and the Utica. Aside from the Mediterranean Union project (Union for the Mediterranean), the forum focused on logistics, on the industrial partnership between France and Tunisia and on the opportunities coming from big projects.
