UAE, China share dynamic vision for growth

The United Arab Emirates is founded on the principles of peace, tolerance, dialogue and openness towards other cultures. As a nation we are dedicated to building bridges and working with the international community to ensure economic prosperity and global stability. Our relationship with the People's Republic of China is an excellent example of our model for bilateral relations.

The official visit to China of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi and deputy supreme commander of the UAE Armed Forces, was a resounding success, not only as a celebration of the deep rooted friendship between our two nations, but also because of the diverse agreements that are set to take our economic and diplomatic partnership to the next level.

The centerpiece is a new $10 billion UAE-China joint investment fund, the largest bilateral fund of its kind. The fund provides a powerful springboard to launch long-term strategic investments that will create mutual benefits for both our peoples. In addition, the political, economic and security discussions that took place and the private sector partnerships that were forged deepened the economic and political ties between our two nations and will create more prosperity.
