Fang said that the First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) is an important financial institution in the Gulf region, and the two sides have a lot of potential cooperation opportunities in the Middle East, North Africa and other regional markets. He hoped that while jointly developing credit and financing business, the two sides should give full play to FAB's advantages in location and resources and CMEC's experience and strength in implementing localized projects, and explore the markets in the fields of new energy, infrastructure construction, etc.
