On October 30, the Center for the National Interest hosted an interview with U.S. Ambassador Joey Hood to discuss the future of Tunisia and its longstanding relationship with the United States.

The conversation explores Tunisia's strategic importance to the Western world and delves into the challenges facing the country today—including irregular migration, hurdles to economic development, and the impacts of climate change—emphasizing the need for civil society and the private sector to foster stability and growth. What steps can Tunisia take to overcome its economic challenges and stem the tide of emigration? How can international partnerships bolster Tunisia's stability and prosperity in a competitive global environment?

Joshua Yaphe, a visiting fellow at the Center, conducted the interview.
