That same afternoon, His Highness made a special visit to the Beijing office of Winson.

The firm's Partner and Beijing Office Director Nan Yixu, along with Partner and Executive Director Lei Ding, jointly received His Highness and his delegation. Mr. Abdulrauf, Chairman of Dubai's Al-Shafa Group and former Chief Justice of the Dubai Courts, as well as Mr. Jin Hao, Director of the Prince's Office, accompanied the visit. A number of lawyer representatives from the Beijing office also participated in the event. His Highness presented the firm with a royal gift and offered valuable guidance on the firm's work. This visit is a clear reflection of the UAE Royal Family's high regard for the professional role that the firm has played in facilitating two-way China-UAE trade and investment exchanges.

During the exchange forum, His Highness Sheikh and the firm's core team engaged in in-depth discussions on emerging opportunities in China-UAE economic and trade cooperation and the evolving demands for cross-border legal services. His Highness expressed high praise for the firm's years of work in advancing commercial connectivity between the two countries and providing professional legal support for numerous China-UAE cooperation projects. He encouraged the firm to seize the strategic opportunities presented by China's Belt and Road Initiative, to continue leveraging its unique advantages in bridging Chinese and Arab legal systems, and to provide solid legal safeguards for deepening cooperation between the two countries across trade, investment, energy, infrastructure, technology, and other fields, thereby making greater contributions to the well-being of the peoples of both nations.

Following the forum, the firm formally appointed His Highness Sheikh as its Global Business Advisor. His Highness's extensive international vision and exceptional leadership will inject strong momentum into the firm's internationalization strategy and its China-UAE legal services cooperation.

Going forward, the firm will build on this visit as a new starting point, align closely with the nation's strategic needs for opening up to the world, deepen cooperation with judicial institutions, sovereign wealth funds, and business associations in the UAE and across the Middle East, and work to establish a high-level platform for China-Arab legal exchange, contributing the power of the rule of law to the high-quality global expansion of Chinese enterprises and to the building of the China-UAE comprehensive strategic partnership.
