and opening new markets for both Japanese and UAE businesses.

including Expo 2025 Osaka and SusHi Tech – Tokyo, and the
th

delegation will also organise the Abu Dhabi Investment Forum

(ADIF) and Abu Dhabi-Tokyo Business Forum, which aim to
enhance cooperation and attract talent, business, and investment
to Abu Dhabi.

His Excellency Shihab Ahmed Alfaheem, Ambassador of the
UAE to Japan, said: "This visit reflects the deep-rooted and
forward-looking partnership between Abu

Dhabi and Japan. Japan's expertise in digital transformation,
technology, sustainable mobility, and industrial automation
complements Abu Dhabi's strategic sectors and our shared vision
for a knowledge-based, net-zero future. We are on the cusp of a
new era of bilateral cooperation, enabled by frameworks such as the
forthcoming Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement

(CEPA), which will unlock greater market access and enhance
investment flows between the two countries. The UAE Embassy
in Tokyo is proud to support this delegation, and we look forward to
deepening our engagement with Japanese partners to drive long-
term sustainable growth."

Since its establishment in 2011, ADJEC, co-chaired by ADDED and
the Japan Cooperation Center for the Middle East (JCCME), has
been driving bilateral cooperation across various industries. JCCME
