Abu Dhabi, February 12, 2025: H.E. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and

Portugal to the UAE, along with senior officials from both sides.

The discussions took place on the sidelines of the fourth ICAO Global Implementation

Support Symposium (GISS) 2025, organized by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA)

in collaboration with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) from February 10 to

12, 2025, in Abu Dhabi. The meeting explored opportunities for cooperation in shared priority

agriculture.
H.E. Bin Touq emphasized the rapid expansion of UAE-Portuguese economic relations,

highlighting the wealth of opportunities to strengthen collaboration across key development

sectors, particularly on economic and investment fronts. He noted that the UAE views

Portugal as a dynamic and vital economy in the Eurozone and is keen to further advance
economic cooperation.

H.E. pointed out that the UAE's hosting of the fourth edition of GISS solidifies its position as

a regional and global leader in the civil aviation sector. The event serves as a key platform to

enhance dialogue and cooperation with international stakeholders to support and advance
this vital economic sector. This aligns with the UAE's vision to transition to a more resilient

and sustainable economic model while also reinforcing global efforts to achieve net zero

emissions from aviation by 2050.
