Ruth ForbesRuth ForbesEconomyTrade11 months ago

Dubai and Beijing are deepening their economic partnership, as non-oil trade between the two powerhouses soared to $80.67 billion in the latest figures, signaling robust growth in bilateral commerce and investment.

The surge highlights the strategic alignment between China’s Belt and Road Initiative and Dubai’s role as a global logistics and financial hub. Trade growth has been particularly strong in sectors such as electronics, machinery, metals, pharmaceuticals, and renewables, reflecting a diversified and maturing relationship beyond hydrocarbons.

Officials from both sides have reaffirmed their commitment to expand cooperation in key areas, including infrastructure development, green energy, technology transfer, and capital investment. Dubai International Chamber has also opened a dedicated office in China to facilitate smoother business flows and promote joint ventures.

“This trade milestone reflects the strength of our economic ties with China and Dubai’s position as a global gateway for international markets,” said Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman of DP World.

The partnership is expected to gain further momentum as both economies prioritize digital innovation, supply chain resilience, and sustainable growth, solidifying Dubai’s status as China’s most vital trade and investment partner in the Middle East.
