Footage shows Li and Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed overseeing the signing of agreements between officials of the two countries after their meeting in Beijing. During the visit, both sides signed 24 Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to further bolster economic, trade, and investment relations. China remains the UAE’s largest trading partner, accounting for around 11 percent of the Gulf nation’s total non-oil trade. It ranks first in imports and 11th in non-oil exports from the UAE. UAE contributes more than 20 percent of China’s non-oil trade, making it Beijing's largest partner in the Arab world in non-oil commodities. The visit also comes after the US and Iran failed to reach an agreement in the Pakistani capital over the weekend, dimming hopes of ending the six-week-long war that has engulfed the wider Middle East region. Tensions in the Gulf region remain high as US President Donald Trump said that the country's navy has started to block the Strait of Hormuz with Iran threatening repercussions."
