突尼斯第一位自由選舉產生總統上任大綱

Beji Caid Essebsi has been sworn in as Tunisia's new president, becoming the country's first freely elected leader since it gained independence from France in 1956.

Mr. Essebsi took the oath of office Wednesday at a ceremony in the parliament where his secular Nidaa Tounes party won the most seats in an October election.

The 88-year-old president won a runoff election this month, defeating incumbent Moncef Marzouki, who had served as Tunisia's interim president since the 2011 ouster of longtime leader Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali.

Mr. Essebsi has pledged to move forward with a united Tunisia and said he hopes his election marks the start of a new future for the country.

He previously served as a minister in Mr. Ben Ali's administration and as an advisor to Tunisia's first president, Habib Bourguiba.貝吉.卡伊德.埃塞卜西星期三宣誓就任突尼斯新總統，成爲該國1956年脫離法國獨立以來第一位通過自由選舉產生的領導人。

埃塞卜西星期三在議會舉行的儀式上宣誓就職，他領導的世俗政黨在10月議會選舉中取得多數席位。

現年88歲的埃塞卜西本月贏得了決選的勝利，擊敗了自本.阿里2011年被趕下臺以來，一直擔任臨時總統的馬左基。

埃塞卜西保證帶領團結的突尼斯向前邁進，並表示希望他的的當選標誌突尼斯新未來的開始。

埃塞卜西在本.阿里政府被推翻後擔任總理，並在突尼斯第一位總統哈比卜.布爾吉巴任職期間擔任外交部長。
