OTTAWA, July 9 (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Thursday called for strengthening ties with Saudi Arabia in the mining and energy sectors.

Carney's remarks came during the first visit by a Canadian prime minister to Saudi Arabia in 26 years.

  • Carney made a series of foreign trips last year in an effort to attract investment and business. He says that U.S. tariffs on key exports necessitate Ottawa diversifying its trade sources.

  • The Canadian Prime Minister stated at a televised business forum that Saudi Arabia could help Canadian mining companies develop.

  • Carney met with Amin Hassan Nasser, the president of Saudi Arabia’s giant oil company Aramco, for talks aimed at strengthening cooperation.

  • The two countries agreed to restore full diplomatic relations in 2023, thus ending the fallout from a 2018 dispute over human rights issues that damaged relations and trade between the two countries.
