Finalization of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) has contributed greatly to improving trade relations between UAE and Australia. Through this deal, the two countries seek to establish stronger economic ties that will go beyond mere numerical representations. It is not only Australia’s maiden trade agreement with a nation in the Middle East; it’s also considered as a gateway to the broader MENA region whose markets are said to be rising. Specifically, it would eliminate tariffs from various goods and services while encouraging investment in priority areas like agriculture, education and renewable energy thus enhancing their cooperation among these sectors within the private body. Finally, this comes as a win-win for both nations due globalization which requires adaptability through diverse relationships hence providing new opportunity for an increased trade reach that can no longer be ignored.
In United Arab Emirates, CEPA means another way forward for confirming its standing in trade globally. So far this year non-oil trading has gone up to record levels and this treaty further fortifies UAE’s presence within Asia Pacific region plus improves collaboration with Australia – UAE’s main trading partner in the Middle East. This accord seems to come at the most appropriate point in time for UAE which is focused on cutting down reliance on oil in favour of promoting non-oil exports over a prolonged period of years. Essentially, it gives entry to UAE companies into Australia’s markets from one side while opening avenues for Australian businesses on new clientele within the MENA area on the other side. This trade agreement demonstrates an agreement between both nations regarding their respective paths in future seeing as one of them plans to be much more active on renewable energies whereas such interests are also shared by these two countries.
Crucially, this collaboration is about much more than mere economic gain. The CEPA according to Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi and Don Farrell aims at building strong social and cultural links between the two countries. The pertinent of over 300 Australian companies already established in the UAE as well as increasing transfer of skills and knowledge within such heterogeneous sectors such as building and construction, agriculturalism among others looks promising. Essentially therefore the UAE-Australia CEPA entails more than just an agreement based on trade; it should be seen as a global template for global relations where markets meet art, social strains meet human experience thus creating a distinctively new configuration of ourselves.
