Gulf Pharmaceutical Industries signs contract to start manufacturing the vaccine from April

28 March 2021 - 23:28China's foreign minister Wang Yi and his UAE counterpart Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan show the Chinese-made Sinopharm vaccine, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, March 28 2021. Picture: WAM/HANDOUT/REUTERS

The agreement with Abu Dhabi’s G42 Medications Trading didn’t include details on how many doses will be manufactured. G42, which describes itself as an artificial intelligence and cloud computing firm, had helped roll out trials of the Sinopharm vaccine in the country. “It is a really clear signal that the UAE is China’s most trusted partner in the Middle East and it creates linkages with other countries in the region” said Jonathan Fulton, assistant professor at Abu Dhabi’s Zayed University and a specialist in China-Gulf relations.

The UAE is keen to expand its influence in China and other fast-growing markets in Asia. China was the UAE’s second-largest trading partner in 2019 after India, with $55.9bn in total trade — more than double what it had with the US that year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
