The UAE has signed an agreement to establish a joint economic commission

with Ireland as part of an effort to drive economic growth between the nations.

The agreement also includes a commitment to enhance economic and technical

co-operation and will cover sectors including trade and investment, energy

efficiency, renewable energy, infrastructure development, the digital and green

economy, supply chain resilience, food security and healthcare technology.

The joint committee will promote business delegation visits, facilitate the exchange

of information on economic developments and programmes, as well as striving to

create a favourable two-way investment climate.

“The relationship between the UAE and Ireland is one of mutual respect and

shared ambition," said Dr Thani Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade.

"With a foundation built on trade and co-operation, we are well-positioned to

explore new avenues for investment and collaboration. The signing of this MoU

[memorandum of understanding] is a testament to our commitment to enhancing
bilateral relations and unlocking the significant potential that exists between our

two countries.”

Non-oil trade between the UAE and Ireland reached $1.1 billion in 2024 up from

$694 million in 2019.
