A Saudi industries exhibition in Canada canceled
Saudi Arabia-Canada, Politics, 6/6/2001

Well-informed Saudi sources have stressed that a decision was taken to abrogate the organization of the first exhibition for Saudi industries in Canada that was due on June 13th in line with the visit which was due by the Saudi crown prince Abdullah Bin Abdul Aziz to Canada.

Just several days ago, the visit of the Saudi crown prince to Canada was canceled in retaliation to what was said by the Canadian mass media and statements made by Canadian officials doubting the Saudi legal and security system.

However medical tests in al-Riyadh for a Canadian prisoner proved that he was not wounded or attacked during his investigation. Al-Riyadh retaliated to the Canadian statements by a decisive decision which was the canceling of the visit of the Saudi crown prince to Canada.
