UAE and China: A vision for future relations

Since its foundation, the United Arab Emirates has endeavoured to build a society that is inclusive, open, and moderate. The UAE has pursued a vision which respects diversity, empowers women, encourages technological advancement, and seeks to lead our nation to the cutting edge of human progress.

Whilst this vision has informed our national development approach, it is also one that goes far beyond the UAE's borders. It is a vision that is global in scope, underpinned by free trade, innovation, political moderation, and tolerance. It is one which actively seeks to find solutions that bring peoples, and cultures closer together, and one where all societies can obtain viable political and economic futures.

This is a vision, however, that cannot be carried out alone. It is one that, if it is to truly succeed, will require partners both great and small, Eastern and Western, to cooperate closely and engage continuously in the spirit of openness, respect, and equality.
