When it comes to questions of human rights, “lecturing” other countries is an “ineffective strategy,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said in Saudi Arabia on Thursday after a meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. “Lecturing countries from afar is an ineffective strategy. It’s satisfying, but it’s ineffective,” Carney said when asked if he was more concerned with business and the economy than he was with the “disagreements” Canada has with Saudi Arabia over human rights. Carney met with bin Salman in Saudi Arabia on Thursday as he seeks to deepen bilateral trade and investment after years of diplomatic strain. Canada aims to build a strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia “across energy, critical minerals, defence, infrastructure, and investment,” Carney’s office said.
