Sheikh Saud Bin Saar Al Qasimi, supreme council member and ruler of Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE, said he was thrilled and honored at his inaugural participation in the 24th China International Fair for Investment and Trade or CIFIT.

Witnessing China's remarkable progress firsthand, he said he looked forward to collaborating with Chinese partners for greater success. That's especially as this year commemorated the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and the UAE, he added.
