(TAP) – Caretaker Prime Minister Elyes Fakhfakh called to accelerate the implementation of the project to extend the port of Rades.

He was speaking at a Small Cabinet Meeting (SCM) dedicated to this project held Wednesday in the Kasbah.

Fakfakh emphasised the importance of upgrading this port in accordance with the required international standards so that it can attract investment.

Former Minister of Transport and Logistics Anouar Maarouf, in June, said a poor performance of the port of Rades “causes the Tunisian economy one-billion-dinar losses each year.”
