China-UAE: Celebrating 40 Years of Friendship and Growth into the Future

As China and the UAE celebrate the fortieth anniversary of established diplomatic relations, reflection into what has been a strong partnership enters new realms of exciting possibilities for future collaboration between the two nations. Back in 1984, when the relationship was first established, it was on a close footing shared by mutual respect and common goals.

Over the years, the trade relationship between China and the UAE has flourished, with China easily emerging as one of the major trading partners of the UAE. The economic relationship is hence strengthened through manifold ways via investment in the sector of technology, renewable energy, and infrastructure. Both countries enhanced their connectivity and cooperation through the Belt and Road Initiative.

The two countries are going to deepen their cooperation, which will open up new growth points, such as the digital economy and green development, into promising prospects for China-UAE relations in the future. Both countries, celebrating a 40-year long journey, are prepared to seize new opportunities for serving the common interests of people and help in the stabilization of the world.
