The agreement aimed to boost and diversify economic exchanges and develop complementarities between Tunisia and Malta. The agreement also aimed to set up two business councils.

The Maltese-Tunisian Business Council would be organised in Malta under the auspices of the MCCEI and would seek to organise Malta-based businessmen who were interested in working and networking to promote business between Malta and Tunisia.

Simultaneously, UTICA would set up a Tunisian-Maltese Business Council in Tunisia. These two groupings would work co-ordinate their efforts to promote business between the two countries by organising common events and promote networking activities among members.

The agreement was signed by member of the Malta Chamber Internationalisation Committee member Michael Farrugia and UTICA Deputy Chairperson Zohra Idriss, during a visit by a business mission to Tunisia, organized by Malta Enterprise and supported by the Malta Chamber.
