This week, the United Arab Emirates and Latvia signed a new cooperation agreement to boost trade, investment, and long-term business partnerships. This is a good thing for Euro-Arab trade. The agreement was made official at a recent meeting of the two chambers of commerce from both countries. It is part of a growing trend of stronger economic ties between Europe and the Arab region.
The main goal of the agreement is to improve cooperation in a number of important areas, such as joint business missions, trade shows, support for entering new markets, and the sharing of economic data. Companies on both sides will benefit from easier access to each other's markets, clearer ways to talk to each other, and more organised ways for the two chambers to work together.
Trade between the UAE and Latvia that doesn't involve oil has been steadily increasing over the past five years, and it will reach over USD 100 million in 2024. The new framework is expected to speed up this growth by bringing in more investment, encouraging partnerships between businesses, and creating new opportunities in areas like chemicals, metals, industrial goods, advanced services, and manufacturing materials.
Latvia's place in the European Union makes it a good place for Arab businesses to start expanding into other European markets. The UAE is still a great place for European businesses to do business with the fast-growing economies of the Arab world. The new agreement shows how important it is for people from different regions to work together as both sides work to diversify their economies and improve trade links around the world.
The cooperation also puts a lot of emphasis on helping small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) because they are so important for creating jobs, coming up with new ideas, and growing trade between countries. Both sides want to make long-term partnerships that help the economy grow in a way that is good for small and medium-sized businesses.
This new partnership between the UAE and Latvia is a great example of how things are getting better between Europe and the Arab world. It shows that both regions are confident in their shared economic future and that they are committed to building high-value, mutually beneficial business ties again. For the larger Euro-Arab business community, this is a clear sign that opportunities are growing, partnerships are getting stronger, and new markets are opening up for businesses on both sides.
