The CEPA is expected to double these figures within five years of its

implementation by reducing customs tariffs, removing trade barriers, and
improving market access for exports of goods and services.

The agreement will also open up avenues for investment and joint ventures in

sectors, such as energy, environment, hospitality, tourism, infrastructure,
agriculture, and food production.

During the visit, Dr. Al Zeyoudi met with a number of ministers, senior

government officials, and private sector representatives to boost economic
cooperation and bilateral relations following the signing of the CEPA between the
two countries.

Dr. Al Zeyoudi discussed with Germán Umaña Mendoza, Minister of Trade,
Industry, and Tourism of Colombia, ways to enhance economic, investment, and
trade relations and create an effective trade and investment climate within the
framework of the CEPA to contribute to the free flow of trade and investment
between the two countries.
