11/12/25, 8:26 AM ECI signs MoU with Republic of Chad to strengthen trade and economic cooperation - Middle East News 247

H.E. Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi said, “The UAE and the Republic of Chad share a longstanding
relationship built on shared trade and investment ties and a desire for mutual prosperity. In the first half of

2025, the value of non-oil bilateral trade reached US$2.4 billion, marking a significant increase of 166%
over the same period in 2024 – and more than the US$2 billion we recorded in the whole of 2024. The
signing of this agreement between ECI and the Republic of Chad marks another milestone in our growing

partnership, opening new avenues for economic collaboration across key sectors.”

“This agreement supports the UAE’s strategic vision to diversify its economy and improve global trade,
especially with emerging markets that have substantial potential for future growth. The steady rise in
UAE’s non-oil exports and re-exports across Africa highlights our success in fostering both trade growth

and mutually beneficial partnerships. We are committed to further strengthening ties with our partners in
Africa, driving growth and prosperity through economic collaboration,” H.E. Al Zeyoudi added.

The MoU establishes a framework for mutual collaboration in trade and investment promotion, aiming to

strengthen economic ties and support the growth of exports and imports between the UAE and Chad.
Both parties will work together to enhance trade finance and insurance solutions, enabling the private
sectors in both nations to explore new markets while mitigating the risks associated with cross-border
trade.
