Hong Kong’s total export to the UAE amounted to $2.7 billion and total import value from the UAE reached $2 billion, reveal officials in Dubai.
The bilateral trade relations among Hong Kong and the UAE have long been robust. Adding to the Hong Kong’s business advantages, Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) organises more than 30 exhibitions each year to bring together buyers and suppliers from both economies to develop their business.
Abdul Aziz Nasser, Deputy Director, Middle East, HKTDC said that nine international fairs, which cover watches and clocks, fashion, electronic pro-ducts, lighting products, green products and spectacles, will be held in Hong Kong from September to November. These fairs will serve as ideal platforms for traders and suppliers from the UAE to expand their businesses into new markets.
“The HKTDC’s some 30 fairs attracted about 39,000 exhibitors and over 750,000 visitors from all over the world in 2017/2018,†Nasser said.
