The forum welcomed a Serbian economic delegation comprising more than 30 companies operating across key sectors, alongside officials and representatives from government entities and private enterprises from both countries.

Discussions focused on enhancing trade and investment relations, identifying opportunities for cooperation in priority sectors, and strengthening economic ties between Abu Dhabi and Serbia. The forum also explored new avenues for future partnerships, supporting joint efforts to drive sustainable growth and mutual economic development.

Held against a backdrop of rapidly expanding bilateral trade, the forum reflected the growing momentum in economic relations between the UAE and Serbia. Non-oil trade between the two countries reached approximately US$98 million in 2024

Non-oil trade in the first quarter of 2025 amounted to around $23.6 million. The UAE is Serbia's 2nd leading trading partner among GCC countries, accounting for nearly 43 per cent of Serbia's total trade with the Gulf based on 2024 figures.
