Tunisian parliament approves law to host Chinese medical teams


TUNIS, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- The Tunisian Parliament adopted Tuesday a law approving the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Tunisia and China to host Chinese medical teams, reported the Tunis Afrique Presse (TAP).

During a plenary session in the presence of Health Minister Ali Mrabet, 118 representatives voted in favor of this law while seven representatives had reservations about it, and only one representative rejected it, the report said.
