RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador to Canada Amal Almoalimi said Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s visit to the Kingdom, during which several agreements and memoranda of understanding were announced, marks the start of a new chapter in Saudi-Canadian cooperation.
In a statement to the Saudi Press Agency, Almoalimi said: “Since diplomatic relations resumed and ambassadors were reappointed in 2023, bilateral ties have continued to gain momentum, driven by mutual respect, shared interests, and both countries’ commitment to expanding cooperation.”
She added: “Since assuming my post in 2023, I have worked to strengthen this momentum by building close relationships with Canadian government entities, the private sector, and academic institutions. I have seen a positive response from Canadian partners, particularly the business community, which has shown growing interest in investment and cooperation opportunities with the Kingdom.
“Universities have also welcomed the return of Saudi students, offering valuable opportunities for education, training, and scientific research while reflecting the longstanding educational ties between the two countries.”
Almoalimi said the Saudi Embassy has played a key role in promoting investment opportunities in the Kingdom by highlighting its attractive investment environment, showcasing the achievements of Saudi Vision 2030, and the opportunities it offers.
