The Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ADCCI) has signed a cooperation agreement with the Angola-UAE Chamber of Commerce and Industry to foster cooperation, enhance economic relations, and create more investment opportunities for businesspeople, entrepreneurs, and investors in both countries.
The agreement was signed by Ahmed Khalifa Al Qubaisi, CEO of the Abu Dhabi Chamber, and Bráulio Mohammed Martins, President of the Angola-UAE Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in the presence of Julio Belarmino Gomes Maiato, Ambassador of the Republic of Angola to the UAE, and Masood Rahma Al Masaood, Treasurer of the Abu Dhabi Chamber, along a number of representatives of both sides.
On signing the agreement, Al Qubaisi said, “Our partnership with the Angola-UAE Chamber of Commerce and Industry aligns with our goals to strengthen cooperation between the Abu Dhabi and Angolan business communities, and to enhance trade between the two sides. The agreement also supports our efforts to provide more investment opportunities for entrepreneurs and businesspeople at both local and international levels.”
“This partnership is part of our strategy to actively contribute to enhancing the investment ecosystem in Abu Dhabi and increasing its competitiveness to attract foreign direct investments,” he added.
Bráulio Mohammed Martins, President of the Angola-UAE Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that this cooperation is a resounding echo that further validates both nations as the foremost example of UAE-Africa relations, adding that business communities in both Angola and the UAE now have a powerful mechanism to promote, facilitate and execute economic and commercial cooperation.
