How the Emirates became a hub for international business


Listen Later

Since the Emirates’ formation 50 years ago, it has become a close friend and strategic partner of the UK.

After an official visit by Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed to the UK earlier this year, the UAE’s relationship with the country has entered a new chapter. Several high profile investments in greener, high-tech industries were announced, expanding on the Sovereign Investment Partnership, announced last March, with an initial £1 billion joint investment in life sciences.

In this miniseries, The UAE at 50, we speak to those at the heart of this connection about what it means and examine how the links between businesses, governments and institutions have developed over the period.

In this episode, we talk speak to Nick Cochran-Dyet, Director and Chairman of the British Business Group about the very long history of commerce between the two nations.
