Dubai - The two-day meeting, starts on September 6, will focus on deepening and strengthening bilateral cooperation between the UAE and New Zealand.

UAE Minister of Economy Sultan bin Saeed Al Mansouri and New Zealand Trade Minister Tim Groser will jointly chair the fifth meeting of the UAE-New Zealand Joint Economic Committee (JEC) in Abu Dhabi next week.
The two-day meeting, starts on September 6, will focus on deepening and strengthening bilateral cooperation between the UAE and New Zealand across a range of important economic sectors.
Discussions will emphasise on cooperation in tourism, education, healthcare, industry, SMEs, renewable energy, aviation, agriculture, technology, and innovation. The meeting will bring together representatives from federal and local government organisations, businesses and private sectors from the two countries.
Al Mansouri stressed the UAE's keenness to strengthen its ties with New Zealand on all levels.
Pointing out that bilateral relations between the two countries are on an upward trajectory, the minister said that the visit of New Zealand's prime minister, John Key, to the UAE in April this year and the high level meetings he had with UAE leaders and officials marked an important milestone in the ongoing cooperation between the two countries.
