Al Zeyoudi emphasised the significance of the gathering, stating, "This roundtable not only demonstrates our
commitment to enhancing economic ties with Ukraine but will also accelerate the mutual benefits that our newly
signed CEPA offers. Designed to be broad-based, the CEPA opens opportunities for strategic investments across

vital sectors such as infrastructure, agriculture, and technology, while enabling start-ups and promoting knowledge
exchange between our two nations.

"With its pro-growth reforms and potential accession to the EU, we foresee enhanced appeal in Ukraine as an
investment destination, with vast scope to build on our existing joint FDI stock of $360 million (AED 1.3 trillion)."

Yulia Svyrydenko emphasised that signing the CEPA with the UAE, followed by a broad meeting with business
leaders from both sides to discuss optimal ways to leverage this agreement, marks a new era of friendship and
paves the way for joint development.

She stated that there is great opportunity for the private sector and business communities in both nations and that
they will play a pivotal role in advancing trade and investment relations, particularly in sectors with the greatest

potential for future growth, such as energy projects, logistics, transportation, healthcare, and manufacturing.
