Well, this is a total sign of UAE's development.

Nowadays, UAE is one of the most important regions in business partnership, be it governmental or private entities. Oil, being its major produced products, has been an important factor for them in establishing partnership with less-oil producing countries. Even US is trying to build up oil partnership with UAE.
