Slama participated in a guided tour covering all departments of Biblioteca Nacional and – in a meeting with President Helena Severo and Executive Director Maria Eduarda Marques – suggested the exchange of exhibitions and documents between both institutions, as well as the translation of Brazilian and Tunisian authors For Arabic and Portuguese, respectively. "I want to bring to Brazil an exhibition of the 2011 revolution, which was the first of the Arab Spring. It includes photos, documents and maps, which can be considered a very rich material, "explained Slama.

Helena Severo highlighted the relevance of Tunisia both in the Arab world and in the international scenario, and advocated the advance of cooperation and partnership agreements with more institutions worldwide: "the exchange with libraries of other countries allows to expand knowledge and democratize information."
