He added: “Over the years, the business ties between Hong Kong and Dubai have become deeper and stronger. Such connections are born from the growing trust developing between two great trading hubs.”
The UAE is Hong Kong's largest export market in the Middle East. Hong Kong's trade with UAE grew by 18.7 per cent to US$3.4 billion during the first nine months of 2007 ending September 30, 2007 in comparison to the same period last year.
While the total exports from Hong Kong to UAE went up by 29 per cent to US$2.1 billion, the total imports by Hong Kong from UAE grew by 4 per cent to US$1.3 billion during the same period.
