TUNIS, Feb. 20 (Xinhua) -- The President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Suma Chakrabarti announced that EBRD's next Regional Investment Summit will be held in Tunisia in November 2019.

The cooperation with Tunisia is symbolic and important for the EBRD which supports Tunisia's economy, said Chakrabarti.
