On one hand, there is the hard power advancement of digital infrastructure, and on the other hand, there is the soft power extension of humanitarian and capital dialogue. The multiple actions of the United Arab Emirates on this day outline a three-dimensional picture of its active presence on the regional and even global stage.

Digital New Infrastructure: Khazna Saudi Arabia's First Station Completed, Aiming for AI Future

According to Arabian Gulf Business Insights, Khazna Data Center, one of the pillar enterprises of the UAE's digital economy, has taken a crucial step forward. The company has officially acquired a 225000 square foot piece of land in Dammam, an important port city in eastern Saudi Arabia, for the construction of its first data center in Saudi Arabia. This facility with a planned capacity of up to 200 megawatts is not only a massive data warehouse, but also positioned as a key hub to support large-scale applications such as next-generation cloud computing and artificial intelligence. This move marks the deep involvement of UAE technology companies in Saudi Arabia's digital transformation, strengthening the strategic synergy between the two countries in the field of digital economy.

New humanitarian commitment: Responding to the United Nations call, generously donating 550 million yuan

In addition to its technological layout, the United Arab Emirates has also demonstrated its international humanitarian commitment. According to the UAE's National newspaper, President Mohammed personally instructed and promised to donate $550 million to the United Nations' global humanitarian aid program. The plan aims to raise $33 billion by 2026 to assist approximately 135 million people in need worldwide, covering multiple urgent projects such as refugee aid. This huge donation highlights the UAE's active role on the international aid stage, committed to alleviating global humanitarian crises.

New Investment Dialogue: Dublin Meets to Discuss AI and Growth Opportunities

Simultaneously advancing is also the linkage of global capital. According to the news from AliExpress, the flagship investment platform of the United Arab Emirates, Investopia, will launch its new global dialogue series in Dublin, Ireland on December 15th. Abdullah bin Tug, Minister of Economy and Tourism of the United Arab Emirates and Chairman of Investopia, will personally lead a delegation to attend, gathering with key figures from the Irish political and business circles.

This event is expected to attract around 250 senior officials and business leaders, with a focus entirely on the new economy sector, particularly investment opportunities in artificial intelligence, infrastructure construction, and high growth industries. The dialogue aims to deepen the bilateral economic relationship between the United Arab Emirates and Ireland, explore cross market win-win paths, and build bridges for companies from both countries to seize opportunities in the rapidly evolving technological wave.

From Saudi Arabia's land to the United Nations fundraising platform, and to the conference hall in Dublin, the United Arab Emirates is steadily expanding its global influence network through multiple parallel lines of infrastructure exports, humanitarian aid, and investment diplomacy. This series of actions not only strengthens regional technological cooperation with Saudi Arabia and responds to global humanitarian needs, but also provides a clearer roadmap and richer cooperation interfaces for international partners, including Chinese enterprises, to participate in the new economic fields in the Middle East and Europe.Editor/Yang Meiling
