BEIJING, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahayan is to visit China from Aug. 12 to 14 as a guest of Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said Friday.
Abu Dhabi city, capital of the oil gas-rich emirate of the same name, is also the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), China's second largest trading partner among Arab nations, behind Saudi Arabia.
China-UAE trade surged by 40.5 percent to hit 28 billion U.S. dollars in 2008, say Chinese Customs figures.
