NUSACC Recognizes Tunisia's Hanène Tajouri Bessassi as 2024 "Ambassador of the Year"

Washington, DC: The National U.S. - Arab Chamber of Commerce (NUSACC) - America's top commercial gateway to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) - this week honored H.E. Hanène Tajouri Bessassi of Tunisia as the 2024 Ambassador of the Year. The award, now in its 21st year, is given annually to a member of the Arab diplomatic corps in the USA for his or her outstanding contributions to U.S. - Arab relations.

"Ambassador Tajouri Bessassi has helped to bring a measure of stability and predictability to the Tunisia - U.S. partnership at a time of great change across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region," noted David Hamod, President & CEO of NUSACC. "Her indefatigable efforts have helped to keep the Tunisia - U.S. relationship on an even keel."

Tajouri Bessassi stated, "I am deeply honored to be named the 2024 Ambassador of the Year by NUSACC. This accolade reflects the longstanding partnership between our two nations and peoples. Together, we will continue to strengthen the bonds between our nations and work toward a brighter and more prosperous future for all."

Tajouri Bessassi is not the first Tunisian to be selected as Ambassador of the Year, and she is not the first female to be named Ambassador of the Year. But she is the first Tunisian female to receive this coveted award because she has blazed a trail as her country's first woman ambassador to the United States.

NUSACC is widely regarded as the voice of American business in the 22 countries of the Arab world and the premier portal to the United States for Arab commercial enterprises. Our Chamber is an independent, membership-driven entity that is funded by our more than 50,000 members and stakeholders, and we are the only business entity in the USA that is officially recognized and authorized by the League of Arab States and the Union of Arab Chambers.

In May 2024, our Chamber was privileged to receive the E Star Award for Export Excellence, conferred by the President of the United States. NUSACC is the only Chamber of its kind to receive an E Award not once, but twice, in the 60-year history of this accolade.
