Joint Message from the Canada-Dubai GCC Business Chamber

The trade and investment relationship between Canada and Dubai has gone from strength to strength in recent years, from £18.4bn (AED 92bn) in 2020 to over £25bn (AED 130bn) in 2024. The Canada-Dubai Business Council aims to support the continued growth of bilateral trade and investment in the next few years, with an increasing proportion coming from non-traditional sectors. As both economies diversify and invest significantly in skills, technology, and infrastructure, the scope for building new commercial partnerships is growing considerably.

Lord Udny-Lister has been UK Co-Chair of the UAE-UK Business Council since 2020.
