This came up during their recent meeting at the Ministry’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi, which was also attended by the accompanying delegation of the US official. Al Saleh underlined the economic, investment and commercial relations between the UAE and the USA as reflected by the continuous growth of trade exchange figures and investment flows in both directions, which serve mutual interests and benefit both countries. He further pointed out the importance of enhancing cooperation in the field of investment in light of key investment opportunities that are emerging in both countries, noting in this regard that the UAE’s investments in the US are the largest among the Arab countries.

During the meeting, Al Saleh further elaborated on the ideal investment environment that the UAE provides to investors, in addition to highlighting promising investment opportunities in the country’s market. The two sides also discussed joint cooperation in strengthening intellectual property protection; combating commercial fraud and discussed fees imposed by the United States on aluminium and iron imports.
