In addition to capital investment, the strategic dialogue connected Southern China’s world-class corporate capabilities with Ras Al Khaimah’s expanding economic landscape, paving the way for joint growth in advanced construction, green energy and smart logistics.
The tour capitalises on the momentum of landmark MoUs signed with the Bank of China and ICBC in April this year. It also advances the foundational cooperation established between Ras Al Khaimah and Guangdong Province under their 2024 collaboration agreement, which is closely aligned with Ras Al Khaimah’s Vision 2030, a strategy that emphasises economic diversification, innovation and sustainable development.
Ras Al Khaimah’s delegation visit has attracted strong regional interest, with over 500 Chinese business leaders and entrepreneurs attending to discuss market entry and expansion opportunities in the emirate.
To strengthen engagement with South China, Ras Al Khaimah spotlighted three high‑value pillars: Advanced Construction, Green Energy and Smart Logistics. A senior delegation of leading entities, including master developers Marjan, Al Hamra, and RAK Properties, together with industrial and logistics anchors RAK Ports and Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), as well as sustainability planner RAK Municipality, joined the tour.
“We already see strong success, with Chinese enterprises thriving in Ras Al Khaimah, and the opportunities for new partners to leverage their expertise here are significant,” said Alma Au Yeung, Greater China Affairs Advisor at Office of the Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah. “With our stable, pro-business environment, world-class infrastructure and exceptional connectivity, we welcome visionary enterprises to utilise the emirate as their gateway to the Middle East, Africa and South Asia, where we can shape a sustainable future together.”
The concrete benefits of Ras Al Khaimah’s economic ecosystem are vividly demonstrated by the landmark setups of Jianhua Holdings Group and Mighty Industrial Park.
As a leading Chinese manufacturer of advanced construction materials, Jianhua has utilised the strategic location of Saqr Port and the supportive environment of RAK Ports to build a high-capacity production and distribution hub. “Being adjacent to Saqr Port–the largest bulk port in the Middle East–allows us to benefit from highly efficient maritime logistics that drastically reduce transportation costs for heavy construction materials,” said Guo Qiang, Middle East Regional General Manager of Jianhua Holdings Group. “Moreover, the pragmatic support and seamless one-stop services provided by Ras Al Khaimah Government has solidified our confidence to deeply root our operations here and build an industry benchmark.”
Simultaneously, Mighty Industrial Park has established a comprehensive platform in the Emirate, helping Chinese enterprises capitalise on Ras Al Khaimah’s business-friendly policies and strategic positioning to localise manufacturing. Zhang Qinwei, Chairman of Mighty Industrial Park commented, “Ras Al Khaimah Government’s strong support for capital-heavy investments and the circular economy, combined with policies like 100% foreign ownership and zero foreign exchange controls, provides the most fertile soil for Chinese companies to scale and thrive.”
With its unique location and connectivity, Ras Al Khaimah is a strategic gateway for Chinese organisations to the EMEA region. The government invites Chinese enterprises and officials to join upcoming economic platforms, including the Ras Al Khaimah Energy Summit this November. With the Emirate undergoing major economic growth, the message to forward‑thinking Chinese businesses is clear: Come Before the World Arrives.
