Dubai Chambers has discussed expanding trade and investment cooperation with the Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce as part of efforts to strengthen Dubai-China economic ties.

The discussions centred on strengthening trade and investment cooperation between the business communities in Dubai and China, fostering bilateral partnerships and creating new opportunities for companies in both markets.

Furthermore, the two sides explored opportunities to deepen institutional cooperation, strengthen private-sector engagement and support Chinese companies seeking to expand into regional markets through Dubai, leveraging the emirate’s position as a global business and trade hub.

The delegation highlighted Dubai’s competitive advantages as an investment destination, including its advanced business environment, world-class infrastructure and investment-friendly regulatory framework. Discussions also covered opportunities across priority sectors, as well as ways to encourage two-way investment and expand commercial partnerships.

Salem AlShamsi, Executive Vice President of International Relations at Dubai Chambers, said that, “We are committed to deepening trade and investment ties between Dubai and China by building on the strength of our bilateral partnership and creating new opportunities for Chinese companies seeking to expand internationally through Dubai.”

“We are continuing to strengthen channels of cooperation between the business communities in Dubai and China and build long-term strategic partnerships. These efforts will enable Chinese companies to benefit from Dubai’s competitive advantages while supporting stronger trade and investment flows between the two markets,” AlShamsi added.
