In detail: The Kingdom and Canada discuss areas of economic cooperation
During the meeting, a discussion took place between Saudi Arabia and Canada, in addition to topics of common interest.
Saudi Canadian Business Council
Last July, the Federation of Saudi Chambers announced the adoption of the final formation of the Saudi-Canadian Business Council in its new session (1445-1449).
At that time, Mohammed bin Nasser Al Dulaim was named President of the Council, and Abdullah bin Salem Al-Yami and Abdullah bin Ahmed Al-Ahmad were named Vice-Presidents.
This important development in economic relations between the Kingdom and Canada came 5 years after the Union of Chambers suspended the activity of the Joint Business Council and trade missions and delegations.

The Chairman of the Saudi-Canadian Business Council, Mohammed Al Dulaim, also stated that the formation of the Council coincides with the development witnessed by Saudi-Canadian relations.
He stated that its formation contributes to reopening the path of economic cooperation and resuming trade and investment activities and events between the two countries.
