阿拉伯聯合大公國

位於阿拉伯半島東南部,通常簡稱為阿聯,英文則稱UAE。石油和天然氣儲量分別位居世界第6和第7位,是許多國家的主要能源供應國。俄烏戰爭後,歐洲國家認為阿聯的石油將成為俄羅斯的替代品。不過特別的是,阿聯並未譴責俄羅斯,原因是它在伊朗議題上仍需要俄羅斯的幫助,以及在各方面與美國漸行漸遠所致。和以色列的關係則在2020年外交正常化後日漸增溫,雙方更在2022年簽訂一項價值數十億美元的自由貿易協定,是以色列和任一阿拉伯國家之間有史以來最大的貿易協定。
看2022位於阿拉伯半島東南部,通常簡稱為阿聯,英文則稱UAE,由七個酋長國組成。地理位置極為重要,北面扼守著有「石油海峽」之稱的荷莫茲海峽。1966年發現石油後致富,是阿拉伯半島人類發展指數最高的國家,人均GDP超過31,900美元。和卡達一樣,外來人口超過88%,其中半數是來自印度、巴基斯坦等國的南亞人。在美國川普政府積極牽線下,2020年成為第三個和以色列關係正常化的阿拉伯國家。位於杜拜的哈里發塔(又稱杜拜塔),是當前全球第一高人工建物。
Year Founded: 1971
Located in the southeast Arabian Peninsula, usually referred to as the Emirates or the UAE, this state is formed by seven emirates. The UAE sits at a critical geographic location, controlling the Strait of Hormuz, an important passageway for oil transit. The discovery of oil in 1966 brought the country wealth. It received the highest score on the Human Development Index among all Arabian Peninsula countries with a GDP per capita exceeding US$31,900. Like Qatar, over 88% of the Emirates' population are foreigners, over half of these foreign nationals are migrants from South Asian countries like India and Pakistan. Enthusiastically facilitated by the Trump administration, in 2020, the state has become the third Arab country to normalize relations with Israel. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the tallest building in the world to date.
