opportunities offered by the rapidly evolving business communities in the UAE and

China, which have witnessed unprecedented advancement across all levels in recent

years, add to the importance of such joint efforts.

China is the UAE's top global trading partner, accounting for a significant share of

the country's non-oil trade. The UAE is currently home to over 15,000 Chinese

companies operating across diverse sectors, reflecting the growing confidence of

the Chinese business community in the UAE's business environment. The bilateral

trade between the UAE and Guangxi reached US$969 million in 2024, driven by a

remarkable growth in cooperation between free zones on both sides.

Tourism is a key pillar of the UAE-China economic relations. In 2024, the UAE

welcomed over one million Chinese tourists, while the number of Chinese residents

in the country reached approximately 350,000. Additionally, more than 250 flights

operate between the two countries monthly.
