Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri, Minister of Economy, said the visit of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, to China in 2015 represented a vital step in the improving overall cooperation between the UAE and China, including in the economy and trade.
He said the strong diplomatic and economic ties between the two countries have developed into a strategic partnership. The founder of the UAE, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, also had a key role in reinforcing the UAE’s bilateral ties with China.
Al Mansouri added that since the start of their diplomatic relations, the cooperation between the UAE and China has grown continuously, supported by their strong ties of friendship and mutual respect, to achieve their mutual interests. The partnership between the countries also has significant development potential, in light of “One Belt, One Road†initiative, which will offer substantial development opportunities.
