Ambassador Zhang Yiming, commended the extensive strategic partnership between China and the UAE, emphasising that the bilateral ties have upheld a robust trajectory in recent years under the guidance of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The Emirates is a primary market for Chinese exports, and the third-largest market for Chinese engineering projects in the Arab world.
