Therefore, the embassy paid special attention to building and promoting bilateral economic relations, which were confirmed during the second visit of the Greek prime minister to the United Arab Emirates last May, where 12 important agreements were signed and the creation of a 4-billion-euro fund for investments in Greece was announced,” the Emirati ambassador stated.

The UAE, as he explained, is coming to the TIF led by the minister of economy, Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, an impressive participation of companies and organizations and the aim on the one hand to explore possible areas of cooperation with Greek companies, and on the other to further strengthen economic relations with Greece.
