Canadian PM visits Saudi Arabia to strengthen energy, mining partnerships

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney made his first state visit to Saudi Arabia in over 25 years to strengthen mining, energy, and AI partnerships. The two countries signed 13 agreements and MoUs worth $1bn, covering health, defense, LNG, hydrogen, and carbon capture. Carney met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Saudi Aramco's CEO Amin Nasser. The visit is part of Canada's strategy to diversify trade amid US tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
