I recently had a call with Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, to discuss Canada’s position on Western Sahara. Canada recognizes Morocco’s autonomy plan as a credible and serious basis for a mutually acceptable solution. I also underscored the importance of achieving a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable settlement in line with the principles of the UN Charter.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Canada is deeply concerned about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and reaffirm our opposition to Israeli settlement expansion and settler violence in the West Bank.

Earlier today, I spoke with President Mahmoud Abbas to discuss the measures taken by the Palestinian Authority to strengthen accountability, governance, and democratic institutions, in which Hamas can play no part.

We will continue to promote peace and stability in the region, and work closely with partners toward this goal.

Earlier today, I spoke with His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. 

I expressed my solidarity with Qatar in the face of Iranian missile and drone attacks, and conveyed my thanks to Qatar for working to ensure the safety of Canadians in Qatar and working with Canada to secure transportation options for Canadians wishing to leave the country. 

We called for an immediate end to attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure, and discussed efforts to de-escalate the conflict and reach a diplomatic solution.

[Anita Anand @AnitaAnandMP]

Today’s Daily Update on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and in the Gulf region:

[Anita Anand @AnitaAnandMP]

For Canadians who wish to depart the Middle East and Gulf region, we are working to facilitate your departures via:

- charterflights;
- block bookings of seats on commercial flights; and
- ground transportation services when it is safe to do so.

Canadians requiring assistance can contact the 24/7 Emergency Watch and Response Centre at [phone] or [email protected]. We strongly encourage Canadians abroad to continue registering with the Registration of Canadians Abroad (ROCA) to receive up-to-date information rapidly.

[Anita Anand @AnitaAnandMP]

Canada strongly condemns the targeting of the State of Qatar by Iran. Canada stands with Qatar and all partners in the region in efforts to safeguard security and prevent further escalation.

[Maninder Sidhu @MSidhuLiberal]

Canada’s tech advantage is on full display in Saudi Arabia with OpenText expanding their global presence! 🇨🇦🌍

Headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, @OpenText’s Canadian operations support 2,000+ jobs and continue to grow.

With 150+ Canadian companies active in this market, this expansion signals jobs, growth and new opportunities in both countries. As Saudi Arabia continues to diversify under Vision 2030, Canadian software and tech services are deepening our export footprint abroad.

[Maninder Sidhu @MSidhuLiberal]

Today, I met with H.E. @ThaniAlZeyoudi, United Arab Emirates Minister of State for Foreign Trade, along with Canadian companies, to strengthen Canada–UAE economic ties and advance shared opportunities in trade, investment, and innovation.

As we wrap up a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) and advance toward a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), we’re building the certainty businesses need to invest, export, and grow. These agreements will expand market access for Canadian exporters, attract strategic investment in high-growth sectors like clean tech, digital industries, and advanced manufacturing, and support good jobs at home—while deepening Canada’s footprint in one of the world’s most dynamic markets. 🇨🇦📈

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Canada is forging a new strategic partnership with Qatar. Together, we’re making it easier for Canadian businesses to expand their operations here and attract investment from this dynamic $290 billion economy.

[Foreign Policy CAN @CanadaFP]

Minister Anand spoke with her counterpart, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud on Sunday to discuss advancing economic opportunities and reaffirm cooperation to promote peace and stability in the region.
