Dubai: The US and the UAE are likely to see closer trade ties in several sectors, the organiser of the Dubai-Florida Link Expo says.

Christopher Hinn, CEO and Managing Director of consultants C-7 International, predicted tighter links in real-estate, hospitality, medicine, entertainment, and enhanced trade and immigration facilitation for businessmen.

“The recent Dubai-Florida Link Expo has contributed substantially to the US-UAE bilateral relationship and elevated it to a strategic partnership, specifically with the introduction of new direct Emirates flights from Orlando to Dubai,” Hinn said, adding that “we look forward to enhancing this series of tie-ups further in the months to come.

The two-day exhibition dealt with investments in real estate, commercial investments, business opportunities, schools and universities, lifestyle and travel destinations, immigration & EB-5 visas etc.

It was supported by the US-UAE Business Council, Dubai Chamber, Capital Assured, Dubai Sports City and The American Business Council of Dubai earlier this month.

“Every activity is driven by relationships and doing things the right way. Every transaction must be a win-win for all involved and we hope to deliver just that to investors from Florida and those from Dubai as well,” Hinn added.
