Saudi Arabia and Canada agreed to restore full diplomatic relations on Wednesday, ending one of the last political fissures Riyadh faced over its human rights record following a 2018 dispute over human rights that saw Riyadh expel Ottawa's ambassador and freeze new trade.

The decision, announced by Canada and Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry, came after talks last year between Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on the sidelines of the summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum in Bangkok.
