Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee delivered a video address, highlighting that Hong Kong, as a core city of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and an important node in the Belt and Road Initiative, had consistently benefited from the fruitful outcomes of China-UAE cooperation. He emphasized the commitment to fully explore collaboration with potential economies such as the Middle East involved in the Belt and Road Initiative to solidify and expand cooperative achievements.

Zhang Yiming, the Chinese Ambassador to the UAE, also delivered a video address, stating that the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Bohai Rim region was an important gateway for China to expand its high-level openness to the outside world. Economic and trade investment cooperation stabilizes and promotes the development of China-UAE relations, with China being the UAE's largest trading partner for several consecutive years.

Hammadi, the UAE Ambassador to China, delivered a speech at the conference, stating that the relationship and cooperation between China and the UAE were close, with significant achievements in their partnership. The UAE's investments in energy and infrastructure projects have made a significant contribution to China's economic growth, while China's investments in technology and renewable energy have fostered innovation and sustainable growth in the UAE. The cooperation opportunities between the two countries are limitless.

In recent years, the China-UAE relationship has maintained a strong momentum of development, setting a benchmark for the relations between China and Arab countries in the new era. Under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, cultural exchange and cooperation between China and the UAE have a solid foundation and promising prospects. Since 2010, China Hyway Group Limited has successively entered Middle Eastern markets such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Qatar, and Dubai, with the UAE being a key focus area for the group company's recent expansion efforts. We are eager to deepen cooperation with all sectors and work together for mutual development.
