The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the UAE and the Democratic Republic of the Congo officially took effect on October 30. The agreement eliminates tariffs on most product lines and streamlines customs procedures following bilateral non-oil trade reaching $3.5 billion in 2025. It marks the UAE's 20th CEPA to enter into force under its trade expansion program.
The UAE has eased entry measures and removed heightened travel screenings for Ugandan citizens following the end of Uganda's Ebola outbreak. Heightened entry precautions remain active for arrivals originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan.
