Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney visits Saudi Arabia to strengthen trade and investment ties.
Prime Minister Mark Carney became the first Canadian leader to visit Saudi Arabia in 26 years, meeting Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to establish the Canada-Saudi Arabia Co-ordination Council. The two countries signed 13 commercial agreements worth approximately 1 billion Canadian dollars, covering sectors including energy, mining, defence, and AI. Carney framed the trip as part of an effort to diversify trade away from U.S. dependence and said engagement with foreign leaders is more effective than public criticism.
