The United Arab Emirates and Georgia enjoy steadily growing bilateral relations, supported by continued dialogue and cooperation across areas of mutual interest. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations on October 20, 1992, the two countries have worked to strengthen their partnership and expand opportunities for cooperation.
Diplomatic ties were further consolidated with the opening of the UAE Embassy in Georgia in 2018 and the Georgian Embassy in the UAE in 2020. The establishment of the UAE–Georgia Parliamentary Friendship Committee in 2021 provided an additional platform for parliamentary dialogue and cooperation.
The signing of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) on October 10, 2023, marked an important milestone in bilateral relations. The agreement, which entered into force on June 27, 2024, provides a framework for expanding trade, promoting investment, and improving market access for businesses in both countries.
Bilateral relations gained further momentum in 2025 with the official visit of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, to Georgia on September 19. The visit reflected the importance both countries attach to advancing their partnership and exploring new opportunities for cooperation.
High-level engagement continued in 2026, including a meeting between His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and H.E. Irakli Kobakhidze, Prime Minister of Georgia, on January 14 to discuss strengthening bilateral ties.
Ministerial discussions in January 2026 also highlighted the steady progress in bilateral relations, with the two sides reviewing ongoing projects and exploring further cooperation in food security, education, tourism, and culture. These exchanges reflect their continued commitment to developing cooperation across a broader range of sectors.
