RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman congratulated Tunisia’s Prime Minister Hichem Mechichi on forming a new government on Wednesday.
The crown prince wished Tunisia “success and health” in a cable sent to the premier.
Mechichi was confirmed by 134-67 votes in an overnight session to lead Tunisia's second cabinet in six months.
The cabinet is a technocratic one made up of judges, academics, civil servants and private-sector executives.
The 46-year-old prime minister has pledged to regenerate the economy which has been hit badly by the coronavirus pandemic.
