The presidential decree (No. 558 of 2023) ratifying an MoU on social security signed on November 20, 2022 between Tunisia and Quebec was published on Wednesday in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Tunisia (JORT). The aim of the MoU is to develop a legal framework to organise the social security and health insurance sectors, as well as health and social services for Tunisian expatriates, in order to promote their integration in their host countries. The Assembly of People’s Representatives, on July 31, adopted draft law No. 17-2023 approving the MoU on social security signed between Tunisia and Quebec. This MoU was signed by Othman Jerandi, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Migration and Tunisians Abroad, and Martine Biron, Quebec’s Minister of International Relations and the Francophonie, on the sidelines of the 18th Summit of the Francophonie, held in Djerba on November 18 and 19, 2022.
