Ajman, South Africa target new trade flows

Ajman and South Africa are set to expand cooperation in trade, logistics and supply chains, with a focus on creating new opportunities for businesses and improving connections between the two markets. The move is expected to support greater cargo movement and strengthen links between companies involved in cross-border trade.

The cooperation will focus on increasing business partnerships, exchanging market information and exploring opportunities in industrial and logistics sectors. It could help companies in both regions access new markets and develop stronger supply chain networks.

For the logistics industry, closer trade ties between Ajman and South Africa could lead to increased movement of goods, more business opportunities for freight operators and improved connectivity between the UAE and African markets. Stronger links could also support investment in transport, warehousing and supply chain services.

Ajman’s location and growing industrial base position it as a potential trade link between regional and international markets, while South Africa offers opportunities through its manufacturing, infrastructure and resource sectors.

Salem Al Suwaidi, Director-General of Ajman Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said: “We are committed to strengthening cooperation with the South African business community and building partnerships that support trade and investment growth.”

The UAE has been expanding trade partnerships with global markets, and stronger cooperation with South Africa could help businesses build more resilient supply chains and explore new routes for cargo movement.
