H.H. Sheikh Mohammed meets President of Chile

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, today met with Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font, at Al Shindagha Majlis.

The two leaders discussed ways to further enhance relations between the UAE and Chile, especially in the areas of trade, investment and economy.

Sheikh Mohammed said the Chilean President's visit, along with the signing of cooperation agreements, including the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), marks the beginning of a new promising phase in bilateral relations.

His Highness added that this will boost trade and investment flows and enable both countries to capitalise on investment and commercial opportunities, given their strategic locations as gateways to neighbouring regional markets.

The meeting, held in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports, and Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group, addressed a range of regional and global issues of mutual interest, with a focus on shared goals regarding key global challenges such as climate action and sustainability.

It also touched on the importance of strengthening efforts to enhance stability, cooperation and development worldwide.

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1978, the UAE and Chile have steadily strengthened their ties in various political, economic and cultural fields.

Chile opened a trade office in Dubai in 2006 and inaugurated its embassy in Abu Dhabi in April 2009, while the UAE established its embassy in Santiago in June 2011.
