The United Arab Emirates will invest 6.5 billion dollars in Angola through 44 strategic agreements designed to boost economic growth, strengthen trade, and enhance diplomatic ties between the two nations.

Angolan Ambassador to the UAE, Julio Maiato, described the partnership as “one of the most dynamic and strategically significant along the Africa–Gulf corridor.

The agreements cover key sectors including renewable energy, agriculture, and infrastructure. Masdar is leading solar energy projects to diversify Angola’s power sources.

Infrastructure projects with AD Ports Group and DP World are set to modernize Angola’s ports and logistics network, boosting trade connectivity, generating thousands of jobs, and supporting regional economic integration.

Maiato emphasized that Angola’s ongoing economic reforms, including diversification beyond oil and strengthening of non-oil sectors, have created a favorable environment for UAE investment, which in turn accelerates sustainable development and shared prosperity.
