Spanning an impressive 37,000 square metres, the centre features a versatile open-air exhibition
area of over 14,000 square meters, equipped to accommodate events of all sizes. Its innovative
design and flexibility make it an ideal venue for a variety of business and entertainment events, from
international exhibitions to national congresses and specialised forums.

During the meeting, Al Zeyoudi reaffirmed the UAE's commitment to fostering closer economic ties
with Belarus, expressing optimism about the potential for increased non-oil trade flows and
investment opportunities in both countries.

Al Zeyoudi stated, “The UAE is keen to explore new avenues for collaboration that will benefit both
our economies. The exceptional growth in our non-oil trade relationship is a testament to the
strength of our partnership, and I look forward to further enhancing these ties over the coming
years.”

The discussions also highlighted the importance of in-person meetings in building mutual
understanding and cooperation between the two nations, setting the stage for future collaborations
in various sectors, including technology, infrastructure, and trade.

As the UAE continues to strengthen its global trade partnerships through the Comprehensive
Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) programme, this visit aligns with its objective of
expanding collaboration and enhancing bilateral relations with high-growth economies and regions
around the world.
