H.E. Bin Touq said:“The UAE remains committed to expanding its international partnerships

across diverse economic sectors and strengthening cooperation with promising markets
such as Portugal. Both countries have significant potential to develop high-value investment

projects, particularly in new economy sectors, while also advancing global efforts to enhance

the safety, security, and sustainability of civil aviation. This is especially vital as the
international aviation industry works toward forging a unified global approach to alternative

low-carbon fuels and accelerating their production in the years ahead.”

landscape that reinforces the attractiveness of its national economy. We remain committed to
strengthening strategic partnerships with countries around the world, in line with the

objectives of the 'We the UAE 2031' vision, which aims to double the country's GDP and

bolster its economic competitiveness on the global stage.”

The meeting emphasized the importance of prioritizing future collaboration and knowledge

exchange across key economic sectors of shared interest, including the integration of AI
technologies into civil aviation, tourism, and hospitality. It also explored opportunities to

expand investments in renewable energy, circular and green economies, and knowledge

sharing in innovation and fintech, while fostering deeper private sector partnerships.
Additionally, it underscored the need to enhance tourism cooperation, increase investments

in the hospitality sector, and accelerate the development of smart and modern agriculture

projects, as well as sustainability and circular economy sectors.
