Canada Will Ask The UAE To Mediate The Fall Out Between Saudi And Canada
Canada will ask the UAE to intervene and mediate after Saudi suspended diplomatic ties with Canada this week.
The fallout began when Canadian authorities followed a tweet by Global Affairs Canada about the arrest of several women campaigning in Saudi Arabia.
According to new reports, Canada is looking to the UAE and Britain to help defuse the situation, following a freeze of business ties, Saudi flights suspensions and Saudi students studying abroad in Canada being transferred to other countries.
