These include alterations in the international division of labor, substantial modifications in the trade and transportation of goods at the global level, decreased interaction between people across international borders, the influence of geopolitical and ideological factors on the shifting international investment landscape, and the effect of financial cross-border flows and technological advancements like digital currency and blockchain, in addition to political considerations.

China and the Gulf countries are natural partners in constructing the “Belt and Road” initiative together. We should capitalize on the valuable resources of mutual understanding, solidarity and collaboration between the two sides, use the “golden key” of peace, development, collaboration and mutual gains to unlock more meaningful dialogue, pool our effort and innovation, and create a brighter future together.

H.E. Dr. Ali Obaid Al Dhaheri, ambassador of the United Arab Emirates to China, stated that the complementary and mutually beneficial trade relationship has been reestablished and developed into what could be considered a second Golden Age in China-Arab relations. UAE government and its leading entities, including the Abu Dhabi Global Market and Dubai International Financial Centre, in recognition of this opportunity, have adopted long-term strategies to liberalize the Emirati economy. In addition to financial sector, technology-driven industries including communication, education, renewable energy, aerospace, nuclear power, artificial intelligence, and automated cars, will increasingly become new points of growth in the Emirati economy that will attract further foreign investment.
