The World Cargo Symposium 2025 kicked off in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on Tuesday
morning. This year, the event takes place at a moment of transition for the industry and
international relations, with tensions high due to tariffs and trade wars, demanding innovation,
collaboration and world leadership.

The UAE Minister of Economy H.E. Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri began the event, welcoming
attendees to the three-day event and touching on the industry’s key priorities.

“We’re very proud to host this global gathering of thought leaders, industry innovators and the
pivotal movement of aviation and logistics sectors as a global hub for connectivity, trade and
innovation,” Al Marri stated.
“We want to take this opportunity to recognise the exceptional contribution of Emirates SkyCargo
and all our national carriers and logistics players for their role in strengthening the UAE’s
position.”
