Abu Dhabi’s crown prince is in Ottawa for meetings today as Canada and the United Arab Emirates work to cement trade ties.
Prime Minister Mark Carney will greet and participate in a welcome ceremony for Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Parliament Hill, before the pair take part in a signing ceremony.
Canada and the U.A.E. concluded negotiations on a free trade agreement earlier this year, in what both countries have called a “record” time of 47 days.
Carney hosted a state dinner for the crown prince in downtown Ottawa on Monday, where he said the countries are bound by a shared determination to “build for the future.”
The prime minister said the leaders would share details of a strategic partnership today.
Carney visited the United Arab Emirates last November, when the U.A.E. pledged to invest around $70 billion in Canada.
