China, UAE Hold Business Roundtable

China’s commerce minister held a “business roundtable” with his United Arab Emirates counterpart and several UAE industry officials this week, where the two sides discussed increasing market access and trade. The meeting, held in Dubai, included executives from Emirates Airlines, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and logistics company DP World. The Chinese minister said “UAE companies are welcome to actively seize opportunities and continue to expand their business relationship with China,” according to an unofficial translation.
