DUBAI, 28th May 2025 (WAM) -- Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade,
welcomed Maroš Šefčovič, EU Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security, to the UAE for
ongoing talks regarding the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the
UAE and the EU.

The visit also included an investment roundtable with representatives from leading private sector
companies aimed at exploring opportunities for increased collaboration and investment flows
between the EU and UAE.

The UAE-EU CEPA is poised to be a significant milestone in strengthening economic ties and
unlocking new avenues for trade and cooperation. The agreement will pave the way for the removal
of trade barriers, enhance market access for goods and services, and stimulate investment in key
sectors. By consolidating access to the EU market, the second largest economic bloc in the world,
the CEPA will reinforce the UAE’s status as a global trade and logistics hub.
