ABU DHABI, (Pakistan Point News - 04th Feb, 2025) The United Arab Emirates
and Germany reinforced their deep-rooted economic ties today with the convening of the UAE-
German Business Forum in Abu Dhabi.

The event, held at the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), gathered
senior government officials, industry leaders, and private sector representatives from both
nations to explore opportunities for further collaboration in key strategic sectors.

The forum was attended by Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade,
and Dr. Jörg Kukies, Germany’s Minister of Finance, along with Ahmed
Alattar, UAE Ambassador to Germany, and Alexander Schönfelder, German Ambassador to
the UAE, and leading figures from the UAE and German business communities.

In his opening remarks, Dr. Thani Al Zeyoudi underscored the strength of the UAE-Germany
economic relationship and the potential to further expand bilateral trade and investment.

“Germany remains one of the UAE’s most important economic partners, with our non-oil trade
reaching US$13.8 billion in 2024, a 5.4 percent increase over the previous year and nearly
double the global trade growth average. Today’s forum provides a valuable opportunity to build
on this momentum, identifying new areas for collaboration in renewable energy, Industry 4.0,
industrial technology, logistics, and advanced manufacturing,” he stated.
