The Australia-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) marks a significant milestone in bilateral trade relations. Initiated on December 13, 2023, negotiations concluded on September 17, 2024, with the agreement signed on November 6, 2024, during a visit by UAE officials to Canberra. The agreement builds on the longstanding economic partnership, aiming to triple bilateral non-oil trade from USD 4.23 billion in 2023 to over USD 15 billion by 2032. It is Australia’s first trade agreement with a Middle Eastern country, strengthening ties across trade, culture, and investment.
