Non-oil trade between the two nations surpassed $6.06 billion in the first half of 2024, marking a 9 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2023.
The comprehensive economic partnership agreement with Vietnam will boost the UAE’s efforts to achieve its 2031 non-oil trade target of Dh4 trillion ($1.1 trillion).
Shiekh Mohammed and Vietnam's prime minister also discussed ways to strengthen the bilateral partnership by exploring new avenues for cooperation in tourism, investment, industry, and technology. Discussions also covered increasing trade and tourism exchanges, enhancing logistics capabilities, creating innovative investment opportunities, and encouraging collaboration between the private sectors of both nations.
The CEPA agreement is expected to improve access for UAE service providers to a wide range of sectors in the Vietnamese market, including business and communications, engineering, financial services, healthcare and social services, travel and tourism, and transportation.
During the meeting, several agreements and memorandums of understanding (MoUs) were announced between the UAE and Vietnam to enhance cooperation in key sectors such as the economy, investment, trade, government, education, scientific research, and logistics.
