History
Austria and Tunisia established diplomatic relations in 1959. The relationship is traditionally friendly and encompasses political dialogue, trade and investment, tourism, culture, education and migration. Austria has supported economic and institutional cooperation with Tunisia and, following the political changes of 2011, engaged in initiatives connected with democratic transition and civil society. The two countries also work together within European-Mediterranean and multilateral frameworks.
