[Tunis Afrique Presse] Tunis/Tunisia -- Japan has become the third investor in Tunisia after France and Italy, in the first half of 2021, said head of the Tunisian-Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Hedi Ben Abbas, noting that the volume of investment reached 2.5 billion dollars, which is a "very staggering figure." This is true, especially since investment companies employ about 20,000 Tunisian citizens, he further indicated.
