INNOPROM played a key role in strengthening relations between Russia and the UAE
The United Arab Emirates has concluded a major series of trade agreements with Russia, enhancing economic ties and positioning itself as a key player in the evolving global market. These developments come after high-level meetings at the INNOPROM industrial trade fair in Ekaterinburg, where an Emirati delegation led by Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, negotiated deals on a range of strategic sectors. The UAE acted as a partner country and presented a large-scale exhibition.
Concluded agreements are expected to facilitate the establishment of a free-trade zone between the two nations and improve agricultural technology supply chains, among other initiatives.
A focal point of the discussions was the removal of trade barriers to accelerate bilateral commerce. Russian Industry and Trade Minister Anton Alikhanov expressed optimism about the future of these trade relations, highlighting the potential for significant growth once these barriers are overcome. In a statement, Alikhanov said that removing these obstacles would be key to maximizing the economic benefits of this partnership.
The UAE, which has emerged as one of Russia’s most important economic partners in the Middle East, continues to strengthen its position as a leading global trade hub. President Vladimir Putin, during his visit to Abu Dhabi in December 2023, underscored the UAE’s role as Russia’s top investor in the region. This growing economic relationship is not just limited to Russia; the UAE is also seeking to diversify its trading partnerships globally, with Russia playing a significant part in that strategy.
These deals further reflect the UAE’s broader approach to international trade, which involves forging deeper ties with nations like Russia while diversifying its economic portfolio. The Emirati leadership is keen to leverage its technological advancements and infrastructure, particularly in energy and agriculture, to build a more robust trading network with both traditional and emerging markets.
