Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid held talks with the leaders of three African nations during a tour of Expo 2020 Dubai on Monday.
The Vice President and Ruler of Dubai met the presidents of Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mauritius on his latest trip to the world’s fair.
He said agreements were made to “raise our trade and investment exchanges” with the three countries.
Sheikh Mohammed also visited the pavilions of all three countries, as well as those of Kenya and Rwanda.
He was briefed on the cultural attractions and tourism projects of both Kenya and Rwanda as well as their investment in clean energy.
“The UAE is one of the largest global investors in Africa and accounts for 88 per cent of Gulf investments there,” Sheikh Mohammed wrote on Twitter.
He said ties between the UAE and Africa were “constantly developing”.
Sheikh Mohammed has been a regular visitor to Expo 2020 Dubai since its grand opening in October and has met a number of high-profile leaders at the event.

Other ways to buy used products in the UAE
UAE insurance firm Al Wathba National Insurance Company (AWNIC) last year launched an e-commerce website with a facility enabling users to buy car wrecks.
Bidders and potential buyers register on the online salvage car auction portal to view vehicles, review condition reports, or arrange physical surveys, and then start bidding for motors they plan to restore or harvest for parts.
Physical salvage car auctions are a common method for insurers around the world to move on heavily damaged vehicles, but AWNIC is one of the few UAE insurers to offer such services online.
For cars and less sizeable items such as bicycles and furniture, Dubizzle is arguably the best-known marketplace for pre-loved.
Founded in 2005, in recent years it has been joined by a plethora of Facebook community pages for shifting used goods, including Abu Dhabi Marketplace, Flea Market UAE and Arabian Ranches Souq Market while sites such as The Luxury Closet and Riot deal largely in second-hand fashion.
At the high-end of the pre-used spectrum, resellers such as Timepiece360.ae, WatchBox Middle East and Watches Market Dubai deal in authenticated second-hand luxury timepieces from brands such as Rolex, Hublot and Tag Heuer, with a warranty.
