11/12/25, 8:27 AM ECI Signs MoU With Chad To Strengthen Trade, Economic Cooperation - UrduPoint
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,” 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.

Commenting on the agreement, Raja Al Mazrouei said, “This MoU with the

Republic of Chad represents a 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.”
