2025/04/23 | Exploring Collaboration with the United Arab Emirates It was a pleasure to welcome Abdulla Alnoaimi, United Arab Emirates Commercial Attaché to the People’s Republic of China, to the Chamber on April 23, accompanied by UAE’s Consul General in Hong Kong, Shaikh Saoud Al Mualla, and Ahmed Elbeshlawy, Economic Analyst.
HKGCC Chairman Agnes Chan and members welcomed the visitors, who discussed the upcoming Investopia – Hong Kong Edition, which is scheduled to take place in Hong Kong in mid-September. The investment platform aims to facilitate global collaboration between investors, business leaders and governments to identify and launch new investment opportunities, promote economic growth, and incubate future economies around the world.
Alnoaimi highlighted the significance of the Hong Kong-UAE partnership, and how both economies serve as the main entry points to surrounding regions. The UAE is also aiming to attract more investments by allowing full foreign ownership of businesses, easy repatriation of funds, and sectoral free trade zones, among other incentives. As such, it has attracted around 15,500 Chinese companies to operate in the UAE, often as a hub to enter MENA markets.
Chan agreed on the importance of deepening connections with UAE through co-organizing events and visits, and also explained about the many benefits Hong Kong can offer to UAE companies.
