Dr. Thani Bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, has affirmed the dynamic expansion of economic relations between the United Arab Emirates and the Republic of Belarus, marked by a notable qualitative leap in various industries.

In statements to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the sidelines of the opening of the Minsk International Exhibition Centre, the minister said that UAE investments in Belarus have exceeded the $4 billion mark, stressing that the UAE is among the top three largest investors in Belarus. He noted that Emirati investments cover vital sectors including defence, technology, hospitality, and urban development.
Al Zeyoudi pointed out the growing interest from Emirati companies in investing in the food and industrial sectors, where Belarus possesses significant expertise and competitive capabilities.
As part of the ongoing strategic relations between the two countries, Al Zeyoudi said that over the recent months, negotiations on a free trade agreement concerning goods with the Eurasian Economic Union have been completed. It is expected to be signed soon in Minsk. He also noted the completion of a supplementary bilateral agreement on services and investments, adding that legal reviews are underway in preparation for the signing.

Bessie Badilla advocates for indigenous fashion
A top Filipina model for nearly five decades whose first visit to the UAE was in 1981 for the “Aureo Alonzo Fiesta Filipina World Tour Group” in Dubai, and who cat-walked for Michael Cinco at the “Dubai Fashion Week 2023,” has said that fashion from her home country has been at par with the world’s best. Bessie Badilla, whose accidental entry into the glitterati of haute couture happened, when Manila hosted the 1976 “International Monetary Fund-World Bank Annual Meeting” at the then newly-opened Philippine International Convention Centre, also said that the intensifying interest-cum-awareness of even the Filipino youth concerning their indigenous fibres and artisanship would strongly impact on the so-called colonial mentality which historians from decades back had imaginatively labelled as “300 years inside the convent (Spain) and 48 years in Hollywood (USA).
