Tunis, May 20 Tunisian President Kais Saied has announced that preparations are underway to draft a new constitution, which will be submitted to a referendum slated for July 25.

Saied told a Council of Ministers meeting that "the new constitution will reflect Tunis' will," according to a statement released by the Tunisian Presidency on Thursday.

The new republic, which will be founded on a new constitution, will maintain the country's unity and continuity, and safeguard Tunis' rights to a dignified life, said the Tunisian President as reported by Xinhua news agency.
