H.E. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism, held a meeting in Paris with H.E. Éric Lombard, French Minister of
Economy, Finance, Industrial and Digital Sovereignty, and H.E. Nathalie Delattre, Minister Delegate for Tourism. The discussions focused
on strengthening the economic partnership between the UAE and France, expanding areas of economic and investment cooperation,
opening new channels for business communities, developing collaboration in the tourism and travel sectors, and increasing tourism
investment opportunities – all of which contribute to boosting the sector’s role in the sustainable economic development of both countries.

H.E. Bin Touq affirmed that the UAE-France economic ties are robust and diversified, spanning a wide range of key sectors in both
countries and serving as a leading example of advanced economic cooperation. He underscored the UAE’s commitment to further
deepening collaboration with France in the fields of the new economy – particularly tourism, the circular economy, innovation, fintech,
and entrepreneurship – which serve as key drivers of the future economy.

H.E. Bin Touq said: “The meeting served as a valuable platform to broaden the partnership and coordination between the UAE and
France, while fostering new avenues for the exchange of knowledge and expertise that empower our business communities to access
emerging opportunities. Both nations share development visions and possess complementary strengths in the economic and tourism
sectors – foundations that enhance cooperation across both government and private domains, driving corporate growth and mutual
investment flows.”
