Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, and Sonsoles
Garcia, Minister of Production, Foreign Trade, Investments and Fisheries of Ecuador,
signed on Wednesday a joint statement in Nairobi announcing the intention to begin
negotiations towards a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA)
between the UAE and Ecuador, as part of the UAE delegation's visit to several Latin
American countries.

This announcement comes after the UAE signed similar agreements with Costa Rica
and Colombia, the first two countries in Latin America to sign last week. The move
underscores the UAE's strategic intent to deepen its commercial and investment
presence across Latin America, fostering sustainable economic growth.
