Are China and Russia the real reason Canada is talking to Saudi Arabia again? Canada announced Wednesday that it is normalizing diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia and appointing ambassadors, five years after a rift.
OTTAWA As China and Russia are asserting greater influence in Europe and Asia, restoring ties with Saudi Arabia is the right move forward for Canada, despite human rights concerns, experts say.
“Having a Canadian ambassador in the kingdom will facilitate that communication, which is a good thing.” The rift led Saudi Arabia to send fewer students to Canada, after years of having a significant presence in university classrooms and teaching hospitals. “I would say that the change has primarily come from Saudi Arabia. There is a clear effort in Riyadh to stabilize the country’s foreign relations and extract the country from costly foreign entanglements,” said Thomas Juneau in an email to the Star.
“There is a fragile regional balance in the Middle East which has become more susceptible to China’s influence.”
