RAKEZ and Tianjin FTZ Forge Partnership to Boost Cross-Border Trade
 

Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ) has announced a strategic partnership with China’s Tianjin Pilot Free Trade Zone (Tianjin FTZ) to enhance economic cooperation and cross-border business opportunities. The collaboration was formalized through a Strategic Cooperation Agreement and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marking a significant step in fostering trade and investment between Ras Al Khaimah and China.

This partnership aims to leverage the strengths of both regions in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) and promoting industry development. With RAKEZ already hosting over 250 Chinese businesses in various sectors such as manufacturing, trading, hi-tech, electric vehicles, and renewable energy, the alliance strengthens RAKEZ’s commitment to supporting Chinese investors seeking access to Middle Eastern markets.

Tianjin FTZ, with its strong industrial foundation and locational advantages, aims to bolster cooperation in key areas, including petrochemicals, renewable energy, shipping and logistics, and automotive trade. By utilizing RAKEZ’s strategic position as a gateway to the Middle East, South Asia, and North Africa, the partnership seeks to create mutual growth opportunities, allowing enterprises from Tianjin to expand their reach and pursue overseas development effectively. Together, both zones aim to foster innovation, trade, and economic prosperity.
