Sicilian fishermen involved in
a cooperation project in Tunisia said Thursday "dialogue through
work" was the most effective response to extremism, the day
after at least 23 people were killed in a terror attack by
Islamist militants at the Bardo museum in central Tunis.
"We believe strongly in this cooperation project in close
contact with our brothers from Tunisia, a country to which Italy
and Sicily are tied by profound and common cultural and
historical roots," Giovanni Tumbiolo, president of the Mazara
del Vallo fishing district, said.
"We are convinced that dialogue through work is the most
effective response to every form of extremism," he continued.
The fishing district is working in Tunisia together with
the Trapani chamber of commerce on a European cross-border
cooperation project aiming to promote the quality and
traceability of catches and valorise Italian-Tunisian
gastronomic traditions.
