Prime Minister Mark Carney signed an investment-protection agreement with the United Arab Emirates on Thursday, during a visit to Abu Dhabi that has involved limited media access as concerns grow the country is fuelling ethnic violence in Sudan.
Carney announced the investment pact following a meeting with U.A.E. President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The two also launched talks for a full trade deal, aimed at an eventual comprehensive economic partnership agreement.
The prime minister also met Thursday morning with Industry Minister Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber, before touring a palatial mosque in Abu Dhabi.
