SHANGHAI, China, (Pakistan Point News - 06th Nov, 2025) Etihad Credit Insurance (ECI), the UAE’s Federal export credit company, and its counterpart in China, Sinosure, have signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance bilateral economic cooperation and promote sustainable trade and investment between the United Arab Emirates and the People’s
Republic of China.
The agreement was signed during ECI’s participation at the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, on the sidelines of the China–UAE Economic & Trade Cooperation
Promotion Conference.
The signing ceremony took place in the presence of Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of Foreign Trade, and was signed by Raja Al Mazrouei, Chief Executive Officer of Etihad
Credit Insurance, and Lu Dong, General Manager of Shanghai Branch, Sinosure.
The MoU aims to strengthen economic cooperation between the UAE and China, particularly in the areas of export credit, trade finance, and risk mitigation. It represents a key milestone in
advancing bilateral support for exporters, investors, and infrastructure projects that align with both nations’ long-term strategic interests.
The partnership reflects the deepening trade relations between the UAE and China and underscores their mutual commitment to economic diversification, sustainable development, and
global competitiveness.
Al Zeyoudi said, “The UAE and China share strong economic ties, marked by robust trade, significant investment, and extensive cooperation between both our public and private sectors. We
are China’s largest trading partner in the Arab world, with about 60% of Chinese trade being transited through UAE ports to more than 400 cities across the middle East and North Africa.
This agreement between Etihad Credit Insurance and Sinosure marks another milestone in deepening our bilateral ties and opens new avenues for collaboration across priority sectors. As
two nations committed to advancing sustainable development and open, rules-based international trade, this agreement reflects our shared vision to create new pathways for exporters,
investors, and businesses to thrive. Strengthening collaboration in export credit and trade finance will facilitate mutual growth and deepen our bilateral ties.”
Raja Al Mazrouei commented, “The MoU reflects the mutual commitment of ECI and Sinosure to deepen cooperation in supporting national exporters and investors. At ECI, we are dedicated
to strengthening our strategic ties, fostering collaboration, and exchanging expertise with leading international institutions and agencies in the fields of insurance, credit, and guarantees.
This partnership with Sinosure represents a significant milestone in our mission to empower UAE exporters and investors with the confidence and tools to expand globally. By leveraging our
combined expertise in trade credit and risk management, we aim to unlock new opportunities in high-growth markets, foster sustainable trade flows, and contribute to the long-term
economic resilience of both nations.”
Under the terms of the MoU, ECI and Sinosure will collaborate in several key areas, including the joint financing of eligible export and investment projects
involving UAE and Chinese companies; the exchange of market intelligence, risk management best practices, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) frameworks; the facilitation of
mutual access to Chinese and UAE markets for exporters and investors, creating new opportunities for bilateral growth; and the identification of joint opportunities in third markets aligned
with both agencies’ mandates and national development strategies.
This strategic partnership reinforces the UAE’s broader objective to expand economic partnerships across Asia, including with China, which is already one of its’ largest global trading
partners.
