4/14/25, 5:16 PM UAE, Türkiye forge stronger economic ties as bilateral non-oil trade grows to $40.5 billion in 2024
Türkiye undertake 149 projects worth $17.7 billion in UAE

For his part, Bolat said that Turkish companies have undertaken 149 projects worth $17.7 billion in
the UAE to date. This figure makes the UAE the 10th most important country in the world where
Turkish companies undertake projects.

“Through this meeting, we have taken steps to achieve our goal of increasing bilateral relations and
growing mutually beneficial economic prosperity on behalf of both our nations and both our people.
The UAE is, and remains, one of our most important economic partners in this regard,” he added.

Following the commission’s session, the two sides held a high-level roundtable featuring
representatives of leading companies and investors from both countries to exchange ideas and
explore high-potential investment and partnership opportunities.

During the roundtable, Al Zeyoudi said: “In front of us is the opportunity to increase trade flows and
investment activities between our business communities. The CEPA has opened the door, but it is
the enterprise and energy of the private sector that will ensure we continue to march through it, and
meetings such as this are vital to ensure we understand where the opportunities exist – and how we
can best unlock them.”
