The ceremony took place in the attendance of representatives of ONAS and the Tunisian Chemical Group, stakeholders in this project.
Ammar presented his thanks to the Japanese government for this significant donation which will be allocated to the creation of an advanced wastewater treatment unit with advanced technology and which will contribute to providing a substantial quantity of treated water and reduce pollution in this region which has long suffered from this problem.
He added that this project reflects the excellent level of bilateral ties between Tunisia and Japan, reaffirming our country’s desire to further strengthen cooperation with the Japanese partner in all areas particularly in priority development projects.
