Dubai International Chamber, one of the three chambers operating under Dubai Chambers, has officially inaugurated its latest international office in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The new office further strengthens the UAE’s growing trade links with Africa and will seek to boost the level of bilateral investments between Dubai and South Africa.

According to the statement, “The Johannesburg office brings the chamber’s total number of international representative offices to 21, five of which are located in Africa.”

The opening further consolidates Dubai International Chamber’s growing presence on the continent following the launch of representative offices in Kenya, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Ghana.

“The new office in Johannesburg is yet another example of our commitment to positioning Dubai favorably in Africa, strengthening trade links with this vital continent, and unlocking two-way investments. In line with our strategic priorities and the emirate’s foreign trade plan, we are anticipating further growth in Dubai’s non-oil trade with South Africa and other key African markets, together with increased strategic investments from businesses on both sides.”

The inauguration of the Johannesburg office comes as part of the ‘Dubai Global’ initiative, which was launched in 2022 by HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
