Joining the G20, becoming a member of BRICS and expanding the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) are also testaments to the UAE's active and constructive presence on the international stage.
The diplomat also expressed his delight at the good relationship between Vietnam and the UAE. Accordingly, bilateral trade turnover has increased by 50% in the 2023-2024 period, reaching 12 billion USD. Particularly, Vietnam's fruit and vegetable exports to the UAE by the end of the third quarter of 2025 increased by 49% compared to the same period last year.

Within the framework of the event, guests had the opportunity to look back on the 54-year journey of formation and development of the Gulf country; enjoy the Al-Ayyala folk art performance, a popular and unique performing art form recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, performed by a team of Vietnamese students.
