that contributed to the development of trade and investment relations between
the UAE and Japan, which saw remarkable developments during the past period.

importance of the role played by the private sector in promoting the trade
exchange between them.

developments over the past few years, citing that Japan is among the top five
trade partners of the UAE and the volume of the non-oil trade touched $14
