3/28/25, 2:42 PM UAE says supply-chain accessibility is key to economic growth during G20 Trade and Investment working group - Middle East New…
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.
