Signed on August 8, 2025, in Moscow during President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan's visit to Russia, the agreement aims to boost market access for services exports, strengthen investor protections, and foster private sector collaboration in high-growth services sectors such as fintech, healthcare, transport, logistics, and professional services. The TISIA complements the Economic Partnership Agreement between the UAE and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), establishing a comprehensive framework covering trade in goods, services, and investment between the two nations. UAE Minister of Foreign Trade Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi highlighted that this agreement, along with the EAEU agreement, activates a comprehensive trade and investment framework, unlocking significant opportunities for businesses and investors in both countries.",
