Canada calls on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman to the G7 Summit: Sources

I called Canada Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman To the upcoming G7 leaders in Alberta, I learned Global News.

It was not yet known whether Bin Salman had accepted the invitation. He did not attend last year G7 Summit In Italy, despite its invitation there, too.

Canada’s invitation is determined the third time in the last days that the Prime Minister Mark Carney His government has contacted the leaders of countries whose relations were strained with Canada.

Leaders of the world’s largest economy in Kanancice will meet for three days of conversations that start on Sunday. One of the common practices for host countries is to invite other world leaders to the annual summit to discuss urgent global issues.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a major player in Middle East diplomacy. It was a supporter of the efforts to secure the ceasefire in Gaza, as Israel continues to conduct a military attack against Hamas to create a humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories.

The Kingdom also hosted talks that included the United States on finding a Russia’s war in Ukraine, a struggle that is expected to be among the main topics at the top.

However, Canada and independent defense groups in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were criticized by Canada and independent advocacy groups, despite the declared efforts between Bin Salman to improve women’s rights.

The country summoned its ambassador from Ottawa and expelled the Canada envoy in 2018 after global affairs called on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to “release them immediately” in the rights of women and democracy.

This diplomatic dispute began months before the killing of a journalist in Washington Post, Jamal Khashji, at a Saudi consulate in Türkiye. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia denied the results of American intelligence agencies that Bin Salman agreed to kill him.

Canada imposed more than ten Saudi citizens linked to the killing of Khashogi.

Canada and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia began melting relations in 2023 by welcoming new ambassadors of each other’s capitals. The National Airlines in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia also resumed flights to Canada after a five -year suspension.

Before the diplomatic dispute, the liberal government temporarily suspended arm sales to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia due to reports that light armored vehicles made in the country were used in a bloody conflict in Yemen.

Bin Salman attended several events during US President Donald Trump’s tour in the Middle East last month. Trump wanders around the crown prince during that trip, describing him as “my friend” and erased his efforts to modernize the country.
