The UAE and Argentina have strengthened bilateral trade, investment, and private sector cooperation through a series of high-level meetings.
During an official visit to Buenos Aires as part of the UAE Trade Days initiative, Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of Foreign Trade, led a high-level UAE economic delegation comprising government officials, business leaders, and representatives of Emirati companies operating across strategic sectors.
During the visit, Al Zeyoudi met Pablo Quirno Magrane, Argentina’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship, along with senior government officials and members of the Argentine business community to discuss opportunities for deeper collaboration across priority sectors.
The discussions focused on technology, renewable energy, logistics, and trade, with both sides exploring ways to increase investment flows and strengthen private sector partnerships.
A business roundtable also brought together investors and business leaders from the UAE and Argentina to identify investment opportunities and expand commercial cooperation.
Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of Foreign Trade, said that Argentina is one of the UAE’s most important trading partners in Latin America and that both countries share a common vision for strengthening economic, trade, and investment cooperation.
The minister noted that bilateral relations have expanded in recent years, with growing trade and broader collaboration across agriculture, food security, energy, mining, science, technology, and infrastructure.
Al Zeyoudi added that Argentina offers significant opportunities in agriculture, food industries, and advanced technology, while the UAE provides a competitive investment environment, strategic connectivity to global markets, and expertise in renewable energy, logistics, the knowledge economy, and artificial intelligence.

Non-oil trade between the UAE and Argentina reached $767.5 million in 2025, an increase of 42.6 percent compared with 2024.
The growth reflects opportunities to expand cooperation further, particularly in food security, agriculture, renewable energy, and advanced technology.
Supporting global trade strategy
The visit forms part of the UAE’s strategy to expand its economic presence in international markets through the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) program, launched in September 2021.
The program has resulted in agreements with countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, supporting the UAE’s long-term trade and investment objectives.
