ABU DHABI (WAM)
The UAE and New Zealand agreed to start negotiations for a Comprehensive Economic
Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which will boost trade and investment ties between
both countries.
A joint declaration of intent confirming the agreement was signed by UAE Minister of
State for Foreign Trade, Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, and New Zealand’s Minister
for Trade, Todd McClay.
The proposed CEPA reflects growing bilateral relations, with non-oil trade between the
UAE and New Zealand reaching $764.5 million in 2023, an increase of more than 15
percent over the pre-Covid year of 2019.
