Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, hosted a business roundtable
that brought together UAE government officials, leading UAE businesses, and investment groups
with a high-ranking Ukrainian delegation led by Yuliia Svyrydenko, First Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister of Economy.

The meeting focused on exploring promising investment opportunities in Ukraine, with a particular
emphasis on infrastructure projects, under the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement
(CEPA) between the two nations.

The UAE-Ukraine CEPA, signed in the presence of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin
Zayed Al Nahyan and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine, aims to strengthen bilateral trade
relations and investment flows between the two nations and is expected to add approximately $369
million to the UAE's GDP and $874 million to Ukraine's GDP by 2031.

The CEPA will also help to accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery, creating new opportunities for
collaboration across sectors such as infrastructure, heavy industry, aviation, and information
