According to a report on free zones in the UAE, more and more Chinese companies are showing strong interest in investing in the country. The report pointed out that Ras Al Khaimah Free Zone (RAKEZ) has been a popular destination for Chinese companies to set up business and seek strategic investment opportunities in the UAE.
Earlier this year, the economic zone successfully conducted business visits to major Chinese cities and received many Chinese business delegations from different industries, including construction, manufacturing, electronic products and engineering.
RAMY JALLAD, CEO of Rakez Group, stated that “the growing interest of Chinese investors in the United Arab Emirates further strengthens our efforts to strengthen our relationship with global investors and promote mutual beneficial cooperation between both parties.”
The long-term partnership has boosted the economic prosperity of the UAE and China, with China now becoming the UAE's largest non-oil trading partner and its third-largest foreign investor.
For RAKEZ, China remains an important market.
He added: "As the UAE actively strives to increase the scale of bilateral trade to $2030 billion by 2000, it becomes even more important to establish business relationships with more Chinese companies."
