Following President Sheikh Mohamed's recent state visit to China, which commemorated 40 years of diplomatic relations between the two nations, Ambassador Yiming highlighted the significant strides made in bilateral cooperation and the prospects for deeper engagement with the broader Arab world.

Reflecting on the meetings in Beijing, Ambassador Yiming expressed optimism about the future of China-UAE relations, noting the UAE's influential position in the Arab world as a hub for regional security and development.

Economic ties between China and the UAE have flourished, with the UAE serving as China's largest trading partner in the Arab world. In 2022 alone, non-oil bilateral trade reached $72 billion, spanning sectors such as energy, logistics, tourism, technology, petrochemicals, and space. Additionally, the UAE has become a key destination for Chinese investments, attracting over $1.7 billion in 2023, which constitutes a significant portion of China's total investments in the region.

Ambassador Yiming highlighted President Xi Jinping's address at the 20th anniversary of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, where he outlined a strategic vision for enhancing collective cooperation in the new era. This forum, attended by leaders including Sheikh Mohamed, underscored China's commitment to fostering closer ties with Arab nations under the Belt and Road initiative.

The longstanding relationship between the UAE and China predates formal diplomatic ties in 1984, with historical visits by UAE Founding Father Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan to China in 1990. President Xi's visit to the UAE in 2018 marked a milestone with the declaration of a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, further solidifying bilateral relations.

Looking ahead, Ambassador Yiming emphasized the shared commitment to advancing mutual interests and fostering a prosperous future for China-UAE relations based on mutual respect, cooperation, and strategic alignment.
