UAE & China Launch Qingdao Service Centre to Deepen $400B Trade Ties
Launched at the China-Arab Business Forum, the Qingdao Overseas Integrated Service Centre will support businesses from the UAE, China, and the wider Arab region.
The UAE and China have inaugurated the Qingdao Overseas Integrated Service Centre (QOISC) during the China-Arab Business Forum in Qingdao. Co-founded by SEPCOIII Electric Power Construction and Hisense Group, the centre is intended to strengthen economic collaboration by offering trade facilitation, investment support, and cultural exchange services for UAE and Arab enterprises in China.
China-Arab commerce surpassed US $400 billion in 2024, a tenfold increase from two decades ago. The forum included the signing of 40 major business deals - worth approximately US $5.93 billion - spanning high-end equipment, new energy, advanced materials, and next-generation tech.
The QOISC is positioned as a bridge between public and private sectors, aiming to accelerate trade, investment, tourism, and cultural collaboration across the region. Looking ahead, the centre plans to support international exhibitions, industrial park development, and procurement matching, using the UAE as a regional hub. The move aligns with broader efforts to deepen cooperation in infrastructure, green energy, digital technologies, and aligns with China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
