3/28/25, 2:42 PM UAE says supply-chain accessibility is key to economic growth during G20 Trade and Investment working group
His Excellency Juma Al Kait said the Working Group is an important opportunity to build
consensus among the global trading community and make the case for open, rules-based
trade: “The United Arab Emirates believes that trade is the main driver of sustainable
economic development, positively impacting investment, industrialization, job creation and
innovation. It is incumbent on us to ensure the global trading system is inclusive and
accessible – especially as we confront a rapidly evolving trading landscape. The G20’s
trade priorities for 2025 are fully aligned with our own foreign trade agenda, and the
Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of Investment will continue to actively contribute to
this year’s TIWG sessions to ensure the benefits of trade are shared equally and
equitably.”
The Trade and Investment Working Group, which was held virtually between March 18-20,
was the first to be convened under South Africa’s presidency of the G20. There will be
three further Working Group meetings before the Ministerial Meeting on October 10 in
Gqeberha, South Africa. The G20 Presential Meeting will take place in Johannesburg in
November.
