Dubai: Non-oil foreign trade achieves Dh2-trillion target before the deadline

• UAE's Vice-President and Prime Minister announced the achievement of the Dh2 trillion.
• Dubai initiated numerous initiatives, developed policies, and efficiently tackled the pandemic.
• Sheikh Mohammed expressed gratitude for the achievement a year before the deadline.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, announced the achievement of the Dh2 trillion non-oil foreign trade target set by the Dubai Ruler and the Council back in 2020. He made the announcement, highlighting how the emirate triumphed despite extraordinary circumstances.

His team detailed how they warned him against setting the high target of Dh2 trillion by 2025, considering the COVID-19 pandemic had just struck the world, disrupting global trade movement.

"Life experiences taught me that crises are the best time to develop and think outside the ordinary," said the leader.

After setting the target, Dubai initiated numerous initiatives, developed policies, and efficiently tackled the pandemic.

"Today," said Sheikh Mohammed on Tuesday, "a year before the deadline, we have reached our goal, thanks to God and his success."
