The Ministry of Economy is organising the trade mission as part of its plan to promote national products and open up new markets for UAE exports. He added that his talks with top Singaporean officials would focus on a wide-range of issues concerning sustainable development, innovation, entrepreneurship and business development. The two sides, he said, would also explore means of encouraging innovation for building a more sustainable, flexible economy in line with the UAE Vision 2021 to become one of the world's best governments.
