Our commercial and economic relations with  Italy are built on historical friendship and a mutual desire to develop and protect common interests. Italy is an important partner for the UAE for cooperation in the fields of the new economy, given the many commonalities in visions and development strategies of the two friendly countries.

Italy will remain a close and chief partner of the UAE, as the two friendly countries have many joint cooperation programs spanning various fields that have the potential to effectively meet the requirements of sustainable development. The UAE is keen to support all efforts needed to strengthen these distinguished relations and expand the scope of cooperation to include sectors of shared concern, in addition to e priority sectors in the coming stage. The most prominent of these are investments related to the space sector, clean energy,  food security and green growth.
