The United Arab Emirates and Mexico are advancing their trade and investment relations, focusing on fostering partnerships
between their private sectors and business communities.

During an official visit to the capital, Mexico City, Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade,

between the two countries.

In the presence of Salem Rashid Al Owais, the UAE Ambassador to Mexico, Al Zeyoudi held bilateral meetings with Juan

Ramon de Lafuente, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Marcelo Ebrard Casaubon, Minister of Economy.

During the meetings, prospects for increased cooperation in sectors of mutual interest were discussed, along with strategies

In 2023, non-oil trade between the UAE and Mexico increased by 20.8 percent to US$2.6 billion, compared to US$2.1 billion in
2022. The positive trajectory continued in the first ten months of 2024, rising to US$2.2 billion, a 1 percent increase
