University Of Wollongong In Dubai
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
UAE has emerged as a key international trade hub as the country continues to offer new opportunities and facilitates the efficient flow of goods through its advanced logistics facilities, state-of-the-art ports and airport infrastructures.
The country has pioneered a global initiative called the “World Logistics Passport”, which reflects its vision to foster global trade cooperation, build a network of trading hubs and enhance trade flows.
