He added in a statement to the Emirates News Agency, WAM, on the sidelines of the “Doing Business with Cambodia” forum within the trade mission led by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce, that the Cambodian side’s desire to strengthen the economic partnership with Dubai and work to sign many agreements with national companies in the emirate reflects the depth of bilateral relations between the two sides and a common vision to expand the horizons of economic cooperation.
He pointed out that the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement between the UAE and Cambodia contributed to opening new areas of trade and investment cooperation, which was reflected positively in the increase in trade and investment flows between the two countries.
Al Shamsi stressed that the partnership between Dubai and Cambodia is constantly expanding. The volume of non-oil trade between the two sides exceeded $394 million during the year 2024, which provides a strong base for enhancing future economic cooperation and reflects sustainable growth in trade relations.
Al Shamsi explained that Dubai represents a strategic platform for Cambodian companies wishing to expand internationally, as it is a gateway to high-growth markets in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia, supported by advanced infrastructure, global logistical capabilities, and a stimulating business environment that allows companies of different sizes to grow and prosper.
He pointed out that the “Doing Business in Cambodia” forum formed a strategic platform to enhance economic cooperation between Dubai and Cambodia and open new horizons for bilateral partnerships and investments, adding that a delegation that included 16 senior Emirati businessmen from various sectors participated in it as part of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce’s “New Horizons for External Expansion” program, which aims to support companies operating in Dubai to enter high-potential global markets.
He added that this presence reflects the growing interest in Cambodia and the promising opportunities to strengthen economic relations between the Emirati and Cambodian markets, noting that Cambodia provides a wide range of opportunities for the business community in Dubai. Bilateral trade between the two countries includes multiple fields such as clothing, leather products, vehicles and electronics, in addition to emerging sectors and innovative investment opportunities.
He pointed out that the forum and bilateral B2B meetings represented a practical platform for exchanging experiences, assessing market needs, and building strategic relationships that support long-term sustainable growth by fully engaging and taking advantage of this opportunity to establish strong and tangible business ties.
Al Shamsi stressed the Dubai Chamber of Commerce’s commitment to supporting its members in their endeavors to expand internationally and to work with their partners in Cambodia to enhance bilateral trade and investment, through joint cooperation that would contribute to opening new paths for economic development and achieving mutual success for the business communities in Dubai and Cambodia.
