UAE and Lebanon revive joint business council as economic ties gather pace

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Lebanon have reactivated their joint business council to boost trade, investment, and collaboration between companies in both nations. During the UAE-Lebanon Business Forum in Beirut, the Federation of UAE Chambers of Commerce and Industry signed an agreement with Lebanon's equivalent body to create this council. The initiative aims to facilitate market intelligence exchange, promote investment opportunities, and develop joint ventures. The forum also produced four agreements across various economic sectors, focusing on reducing barriers to market entry and fostering mutual investment. This revival follows renewed diplomatic efforts after years of tension, particularly since the UAE withdrew its diplomats from Beirut in 2021 due to disputes over regional issues involving Iran-backed groups. Relations began improving after Lebanon elected President Joseph Aoun in early 2025.
