The UAE has been chosen as a partner country for the INNOPROM 2024 International Industrial Trade Fair, held in Ekaterinburg, Russia, from July 8 to 11. The UAE delegation is led by Dr. Sultan al Jaber, the Emirati Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology.

Denis Manturov, Russia's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade, stated, "The UAE’s participation as a partner country not only confirms the special nature of Russia-Emirati relations but also gives additional impetus to developing cooperative ties in the most promising economic sectors."

Manturov emphasized the unprecedented high level of Russia-Emirati relations, noting that bilateral trade turnover exceeded $10 billion by the end of 2023.

UAE and Russia Sign Vital Agreements at INNOPROM 2024

INNOPROM serves as a global platform for fostering economic relations among key industries and enterprises worldwide. The trade fair attracts over 46,000 specialists and representatives from industrial enterprises and dealer companies annually.

The UAE had a strong presence at the four-day event, signing several crucial agreements and preliminary pacts on industrial investments with Russia. The UAE’s participation focused on strengthening bilateral relations in various vital sectors.

During the event, the UAE showcased over 2,000 locally manufactured products under its "Make it in the Emirates" initiative, aiming to support the growth and sustainability of local businesses, as reported by The National.

In 2023, the industrial sector contributed approximately Dh197 billion to the UAE’s Gross Domestic Product. The UAE’s industrial exports increased by 17%, with productivity growing by 7%, reaching Dh187 billion last year.

UAE Expanding Its Investment Partners Through CEPA

Bilateral trade between the UAE and Russia reached $11.4 billion last year. The UAE is the leading investor and trade partner of Russia among Middle Eastern countries, according to Russian President Putin during talks with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed in December.

The UAE and Russia are partners in global bodies such as the expanded alliance of oil-producing countries (OPEC+) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. The UAE also became an official member of BRICS in January, with Russia being a founding member of the group.

The UAE continues to expand its investment partners worldwide through Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPA), facilitating faster access for industrial companies and exporters to some of the largest markets globally.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians.

For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

UAE Introduces AI-Driven Drones for Crescent Moon Sighting

  For the first time in history, the UAE is employing artificial intelligence-powered drones to sight the crescent moon, signaling the start of Ramadan.

By incorporating AI-supported drones, the UAE is reinforcing its position as a leader in technological innovation while maintaining deep respect for religious customs. This method is backed by national research centers and astronomical observatories, ensuring precision and credibility in determining the start of Ramadan. Ramadan is a sacred month in Islam, marked by fasting from dawn to dusk. Suhoor, the early morning meal, and Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, hold great importance during this period.

UK Business Migration to the UAE: An Economic Transformation Set to Triple by 2035

  A significant realignment is underway in the global business landscape. The corridor between the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates is experiencing a dramatic surge in traffic, not of tourists, but of companies, entrepreneurs, and capital. Projections indicate that the number of UK businesses operating in the UAE is on a trajectory to triple by the year 2035. This is not a fleeting trend but a strategic migration fueled by a powerful combination of economic foresight and pragmatic policy. For UK businesses, the appeal is clear and compelling. The UAE offers a starkly contrasting environment to the complexities of the European market post-Brexit. The cornerstone of this appeal is a favourable tax regime, featuring zero percent income tax and a competitive corporate tax structure. This financial efficiency is coupled with groundbreaking reforms that allow for one hundred percent foreign ownership of mainland companies, giving investors full control over their ventures. The...
