The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Türkiye have solidified their strategic partnership, achieving unprecedented levels of bilateral trade and cooperation. Ambassador Lütfullah Göktaş, Türkiye’s envoy to the UAE, emphasized the deepening ties between the two nations, highlighting their shared commitment to peace, prosperity, and multilateral collaboration. The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (Cepa), effective since September 2023, has been a driving force behind this growth, propelling non-oil trade to $44 billion between September 2024 and August 2025—a 12% increase despite global geopolitical challenges. This milestone underscores the resilience and dynamism of the UAE-Türkiye relationship, which spans energy, trade, finance, defense, and technology. Ambassador Göktaş noted the strong historical, cultural, and religious bonds between the two nations, with over 50,000 Turkish citizens thriving in the UAE. High-level visits, including those by Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, have further strengthened bilateral ties. The partnership not only benefits both nations but also contributes to regional stability. As Türkiye celebrated its 102nd Republic Day, the 52nd anniversary of UAE-Türkiye diplomatic relations was also honored, marking a forward-looking alliance poised for continued growth.
