This agreement will cover trade in goods and services, investments, and other mutual interests. Malaysian Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz and UAE Minister Dr Thani bin Ahmad Al Zeyoudi emphasize that the CEPA will strengthen strategic ties, boost economic growth, and create job opportunities.
