- European Union and the United Arab Emirates have formally launched negotiations for a bilateral free trade agreement, opening the possibility of the first comprehensive EU trade deal in the Gulf region
- The work is set to start next week.
UAE minister says:
- Bilateral negotiations between UAE and EU not a hurdle for possible EU – GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) trade deal
