"We are ushering in a new era of UAE-China relations. This forum opens immense opportunities to advance our economic collaboration, support initiatives such as the Belt and Road, and strengthen joint efforts in vital industries like renewable energy and infrastructure. It is a privilege for The Kanoo Group to be part of such a momentous occasion."

The investment forum underlined the two nations' shared commitment to forging deeper economic integration and diversifying cooperation across strategic sectors.
