In my capacity as a Member of the Wo r l d
Solar Commission, I am pleased to give my
support to the World Solar Summit Pro c e s s
1996-2005, initiated by UNESCO, and to express
my full support to the world’s efforts in favour
of sustainable development, respectful of the
ecological equilibria and based on partnership
and on an active international solidarity.
In this global context, and true to its principles
and commitments, Tunisia has adopted a clear
strategy for the development of renewable energies,
aiming essentially at providing energy to
rural areas with a view to improving the living
conditions of the Tunisian citizen in these areas .
While appealing again to the international community
in order that donor countries and institutions
redouble their efforts in bringing unconditional
support to the mobilization of the funds
required for the succesful implementation of this
p rocess, we wish to re a ff i rm the willingness and
the commitment of Tunisia to lend its support to
e fforts undertaken within its competence and
through its specialized scientific and technological
institutions.
