3/28/25, 2:41 PM UAE participates in ‘G20 Trade and Investment Working Group’ meeting – The Gulf Time Newspaper
(MC13) of the WTO, which was held in Abu Dhabi in February, 2024, and expressed hope that consensus could be found at
MC14 in Cameroon next year.
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.”
