The UAE and the EU have officially launched negotiations on a strategic partnership agreement, marking a new phase in bilateral cooperation.
The agreement forms part of broader efforts to strengthen UAE-EU relations and is expected to complement ongoing free trade agreement negotiations initiated in May 2025. The UAE and EU are also moving forward with steps to begin bilateral talks with other GCC states to explore comprehensive strategic partnership agreements.
The negotiations are seen as a key measure to unlock the full potential of cooperation between the Gulf region and European partners.
