The agreement outlines a framework for enhanced cooperation between the two parties and is aimed at contributing to achieving their shared goals through the exchange of knowledge and services, as well as enhancing mutual support for investors, entrepreneurs, and businesses in Dubai and China to boost the growth of bilateral trade and investments and strengthen economic relations.
