Saudi Arabia restores diplomatic relations with Canada

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday that it is restoring diplomatic relations with Canada.

The decision comes after a discussion between Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum in Bangkok in November last year.

The desire of both sides to restore relations is based on mutual respect and common interests, the ministry said.
