During the recent AIM Congress in Dubai, UAE Minister of Foreign Trade, Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, underscored that trade and investment remain the most effective instruments for fostering global stability and prosperity. Even amidst rising geopolitical tensions and economic barriers, the UAE is actively strengthening its international partnerships. The minister positioned the nation as a vital hub for global expansion, inviting investors to utilize the UAE not merely as a marketplace, but as a strategic platform for sustainable growth and long-term collaboration.

The nation’s economic strategy is currently focused on attracting capital that fosters resilient and inclusive development, aligning with a global shift toward more sustainable investments. This approach has already yielded impressive results, with non-oil foreign trade reaching record highs and foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows surging for the fourth consecutive year. With the UAE now ranking as a top global destination for new projects—creating over 65,000 jobs in the process—the minister noted that modern investors are prioritizing flexibility, efficiency, and market connectivity alongside traditional financial returns.
