Carney heads to Abu Dhabi as alarm grows over possible UAE role in Sudan’s civil war
Carney aims to attract investment from sovereign wealth funds and private sector to diversify Canada's economy while UAE denies arming paramilitary forces in Sudan.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Mark Carney is on his way to Abu Dhabi to meet senior UAE government and business leaders, becoming the first Canadian prime minister to visit the UAE since 1983.
- One month after an AI and data centres pact, Canada is pressing for deeper investment ties and senior officials say Carney plans to finalize by Friday a foreign investment protection agreement with the UAE.
- Reports allege the UAE armed a UAE-linked paramilitary force accused of escalating ethnic violence in Sudan, but the UAE government has strenuously denied these claims.
- Securing sovereign-fund investment and starting free-trade talks are chief potential outcomes as Janice Stein said the visit offers Canada a chance to secure Emirati investment and AI expertise, and both countries plan formal free-trade negotiations.
- Carney has no press conference scheduled in Abu Dhabi, where Abu Dhabi media authorities restrict access to bilateral meetings normally open to press amid ongoing investment and trade talks.
