During the 14th BRICS Trade Ministers Meeting, attended by Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi,
Minister of State for Foreign Trade, the UAE renewed the call for enhanced trade cooperation
among member nations and firm opposition to stimulate the flow goods and services worldwide.

It is the first time the UAE has participated in a BRICS Trade Ministers Meeting since joining the
group in August 2023.

Dr. Al Zeyoudi signed a Joint Communique with the participating ministers to reaffirm the
commitment to comprehensive cooperation among member countries in several key areas of
common interest, including strengthening their cooperation in the multilateral trading system,
supporting Joint value chains; facilitating agricultural trade; promoting special economic zones
as engines of cooperation, fostering e-commerce while protecting consumer rights; supporting
MSMEs through technology and export cooperation.

The communique underscored BRICS’ commitment to multilateralism and collaboration in
addressing global trade challenges.
