In a significant move to enhance economic collaboration, the Dubai Business Women Council convened in the Chinese city of Shenzhen as part of the “Dubai Business Forum – China” organised by Dubai Chambers. The meeting aimed to foster cooperation between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and China, exchange expertise, and explore new opportunities for trade and investment while building strategic partnerships.
High-Level Participation and Strategic Dialogue
The roundtable discussion, hosted by the council, featured a distinguished lineup of Emirati and Chinese female business leaders. Participants included members of the council’s board as well as several Emirati businesswomen who formed part of the Dubai delegation. Notable female executives from various sectors of the Chinese economy also attended, creating an interactive platform for direct dialogue and the exchange of insights between women entrepreneurs from both countries. This collaboration aims to support the establishment of sustainable business relationships and open new avenues for cooperation and the development of value-added strategic partnerships.
Empowering Women in Business
During the meeting, Dr. Raja Eisa Saleh Al Gurg, the founder and Chairperson of the Dubai Business Women Council, emphasised the council’s commitment over the past two decades to empower women by enhancing their capabilities, expanding their access to knowledge, and broadening their professional networks. She highlighted the importance of equipping women entrepreneurs with the necessary tools to navigate an increasingly competitive business environment and seize emerging opportunities.
A Natural Extension of Economic Ties
Dr. Al Gurg noted that the communication with Chinese businesswomen aligns seamlessly with the strong economic relations established between the UAE and China. She pointed out the vast potential for enhancing cooperation in trade and investment, along with knowledge exchange, which contributes to developing sustainable partnerships between the business communities of both nations.
