– Investment flows in Australia and the UAE were A$20. 6 billion.

Trade Minister Don Farrell stated that this deal is not only about figures. It will help different parts of the Australian economy:

– From this research, it is clear that Abu Dhabi will continue to invest in other essential minerals from Australia.

UAE Minister of Foreign Trade Thani Al Zeyoudi added that this deal will open new prospects for the two nations.
