emerging markets that have substantial potential for future growth. The steady rise in UAE’s non-oil exports and re-

significant step in advancing ECI’s mission to empower UAE exporters and investors by expanding access to promising

global markets. Through this partnership, we aim to facilitate trade finance and insurance solutions that de-risk cross-
border transactions, encourage knowledge exchange, and support joint projects that contribute to sustainable

development.”

“This collaboration not only reinforces the UAE’s leadership in promoting trade diversification but also underscores
ECI’s role as a catalyst for economic growth and resilience across Africa. Together with our counterparts in the Republic

of Chad, we aim to unlock new financing opportunities for sustainable, innovation-driven projects across priority sectors
such as energy, infrastructure, and digital transformation,” H.E. Raja added.

The areas of cooperation under the agreement include facilitating joint initiatives and knowledge exchange in export

credit, investment protection, and trade risk management, as well as promoting joint projects that support sustainable
development and economic diversification in both countries.

This collaboration underscores ECI’s ongoing efforts to support the expansion of the UAE’s global trade partnerships,
particularly within Africa, and aligns with the UAE’s vision to promote South-South cooperation, economic growth, and

financial innovation through trade facilitation.
