Signed in Fuzhou, the agreement establishes a framework for strengthening economic, maritime and cultural ties, including cooperation in green supply chains, port logistics, sustainable building materials and cultural exchange.

The visit, from October 18 to 23, covered Shenzhen and Guangzhou in Guangdong Province, and Fuzhou in Fujian Province. It included the RAK-China Business Conference, high-level meetings with government officials and business leaders, and the inauguration of Ras Al Khaimah’s first business consultancy in China, in Guangzhou.
These engagements build on Ras Al Khaimah’s longstanding relationship with China, rooted in centuries of maritime trade and cultural exchange, and reflect a shared commitment to strengthening economic, investment and cultural cooperation.
