*University students in Tunisia and Switzerland will soon benefit from increased cooperation between the two countries.
Tunisia's minister of higher education Lazhar Bououni has met with Swiss official Bernard Comby to outline exactly how universities from their respective countries can work more closely together.
Mr Comby is the former Swiss education minister and is now the president of the country's programme for remote teaching.
The talks are said to have looked into setting up a series of online university courses which would be available to both Swiss and Tunisian students, offering both sets a larger resource from which to learn.
The scheme was originally launched from Tunisia with the Tunis Virtual University.
