UK foreign secretary visits Tunisia

Britain's foreign secretary met with Tunisia's interim government Tuesday, kicking off a whirlwind three-day trip to five countries in northern Africa and the Middle East amid a wave of popular protests in the region.

In discussions with interim Tunisian Prime Minister Mohammmed Ghannouchi, William Hague laid out how the UK will work with Tunisian leaders to "make the most of the current opportunity for change," the Foreign Office said in a statement. (AP)
