President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan reached out to Mohamed Ennaceur on Thursday evening.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, also send similar messages.
Essebsi, who was Tunisia's first freely elected president, was declared dead on Thursday at the age of 92.
