In pursuit of the UAE’s economic objectives, we are strengthening international ties with countries around the world to build on our position as a global trade and logistics hub. Signing Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPAs) is key to this goal. The UAE signed its first bilateral trade agreement with India on 18 February 2022 and aims to deepen ties with strategic partners around the world. This is in  pursuit of the UAE’s Projects of the 50, a series of bold initiatives driving the nation’s next phase of sustainable development.
