Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who also serves as the Prime Minister, engaged in a telephone conversation with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
During the call, they reviewed the progression of bilateral relations and explored ways to enhance cooperation across various fields.
The discussion extended to several regional and international issues, focusing on recent developments and the efforts being made to achieve security and stability.
Saudi Arabia and Canada have maintained diplomatic relations since 1973. Over the decades, the two countries have collaborated in various sectors, including trade, education, and health.
However, the relationship has experienced tensions, notably in 2018, when Canada called for the release of detained activists in Saudi Arabia, leading to a diplomatic rift.
Despite these challenges, both nations have shown interest in mending and strengthening ties, as evidenced by recent high-level communications and cooperative initiatives.
