I warmly welcome our greater cooperation. The UK has strongly supported Tunisia\u2019s successful democratic transition, which has become a model for the region. Together we look forward to further strengthening ties across a wide range of sectors, to our countries\u2019 shared benefit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">I committed the UK to providing further counter-terrorist equipment and training; sharing expertise in public-private partnerships and developing regulatory frameworks in the energy sector; and supporting the establishment of a branch of Brighton University in Tunisia, and English language learning.
