Prime Minister Mark Carney used a hastily convened meeting with world leaders at U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace summit in Egypt to push for deeper trade ties with several countries in the Middle East.
A senior government official, speaking on background due to the sensitivity of diplomatic talks, told The Canadian Press the meeting led to both productive talks on postwar plans for Gaza and helpful discussions on deepening Canada’s economic and diplomatic relationships in the Persian Gulf region.
