Arab-African Fair in Tunis

Created by the artist Hatem El Mekki, this stamp celebrates the holding of the Arab-African Fair in Tunis in October 1993. The illustration presents an open diplomat's or businessman's briefcase, containing a poster with the map of Africa and the Arab flags, as well as a pair of glasses placed on documents. This visual underlines the strategic position of Tunisia as a commercial and diplomatic bridge between the Arab world and sub-Saharan Africa. It projects an image of professionalism and openness, promoting South-South economic exchanges and the role of Tunis as an international business hub.
