|{{flag|Algeria}}|| ||See [[Algeria–Tunisia relations]]

Tunisia and [[Algeria]] resolved a longstanding border dispute in 1993 and have cooperated in the construction of the [[Trans-Mediterranean Pipeline|Trans-Mediterranean natural gas pipeline]] through Tunisia that connects Algeria to [[Italy]]. In 2003 Tunisia and Algeria formed [[Numhyd]], a petroleum company to develop oil resources. It is jointly owned (each 50%) by government corporations, Algeria's [[Sonatrach]] and Tunisia's [[Entreprise Tunisienne d'Activités Pétrolières]] (ETAP). Recently Tunisia signed an agreement with Algeria in order to demarcate more exactly the maritime frontier between the two countries.

|{{flag|Egypt}}||1956<ref name=":1" />||See [[Egypt–Tunisia relations]]

In the 1950s the President of Tunisia, Habib Bourguiba, criticized on pragmatic grounds the type of [[Arab nationalism]] then promoted by [[Gamal Abdel Nasser]] of [[Egypt]], which was a widely popular ideology at the time in the Arabic-speaking countries. Their disagreement also concerned the policies of the Arab League. Bourguiba and Nassar eventually came to find some common ground.<ref>Jacques Baulin, ''The Arab role in Africa'' (Penguin 1962) at 118-128.</ref> Although ties were broken under Nasser, and again under [[Anwar Sadat]], on the whole relations between Egypt and Tunisia have remained mutually beneficial.

After the [[Tunisian revolution]] in 2011, the Tunisian-Egyptian relations were very good, especially after the [[Tunisian Constituent Assembly election, 2011|2011 elections in Tunisia]], where won the [[Ennahda Movement]] Islamic-oriented the elections, as well as the [[Muslim Brotherhood]] movement in Egypt won the elections, and also the convergence between the two presidents [[Moncef Marzouki]] and [[Mohamed Morsi]]. But since the [[2013 Egyptian coup d'état]], relations became increasingly strained, and between the two and considered Tunisia that what is happening in Egypt is a military coup d'État bloody and protested against it in the [[United Nations]], which led to a diplomatic crisis in relations severed in an indirect way and there is a lack of official visits at all levels. After the [[Tunisian parliamentary election, 2014|2014 elections in Tunisia]] and the win of [[Nidaa Tounes]]'s secular movement, improved relations and exchanged visits between officials and ministers.

|{{flag|Libya}}||22 June 1956||See [[Libya–Tunisia relations]]
Tunisia's relations with [[Libya]] have been erratic since Tunisia annulled a brief agreement to form a union in 1974. Diplomatic relations were broken in 1976, restored in 1977, and deteriorated again in 1980, when Libyan-trained rebels attempted to seize the town of [[Gafsa]]. In 1982, the [[International Court of Justice]] ruled in Libya's favor in the partition of the oil-rich continental shelf it shares with Tunisia. Libya's 1985 expulsion of Tunisian workers and military threats led Tunisia to sever relations. Relations were normalized again in 1987. While supporting the [[United Nations]] sanctions imposed following airline bombings, Tunisia has been careful to maintain positive relations with its neighbor. Tunisia supported the lifting of UN sanctions against Libya in 2003, and Libya is again becoming a major trading partner. Currently, Tunisia has a maritime dispute with Libya.

The United States has very good relations with Tunisia, which date back more than 200 years. The United States has maintained official representation in Tunis almost continuously since 1795, and the American Friendship Treaty with Tunisia was signed in 1799. The two governments are not linked by security treaties, but relations have been close since Tunisia's independence. The United States and Tunisia have an active schedule of joint military exercises. U.S. security assistance historically has played an important role in cementing relations. The U.S.-Tunisian Joint Military Commission meets annually to discuss military cooperation, Tunisia's defense modernization program, and other security matters. Since 2015, Tunisia and the United States are partners under the Major non-NATO partnership agreement.

===Asia===
Tunisia has long been a voice for moderation and realism in the [[Middle East]]. Tunisia served as the headquarters of the [[Arab League]] from 1979 to 1990 and hosted the [[Palestine Liberation Organization]]'s (PLO) headquarters from 1982 to 1993, when the PLO Executive Committee relocated to Jericho and the [[Palestinian Authority]] was established after the signing of the [[Oslo Accords]]. The PLO Political Department remains in [[Tunis]].

Tunisia consistently has played a moderating role in the negotiations for a comprehensive Middle East peace. In 1993, Tunisia was the first Arab country to host an official Israeli delegation as part of the Middle East peace process and maintained an Interests Section until the outbreak in 2000 of the [[Second Intifada|Intifada]]. Israeli citizens of Tunisian descent may travel to Tunisia on their Israeli passports.
