Russia plans to keep buying Canadian dollars as part of its foreign-exchange reserves, the country’s ambassador to Canada said.

“It took them some time to convince central bankers in Moscow that Canada can be a safe haven,” Georgiy Mamedov, Russia’s ambassador to Canada, told reporters after a Speakers Forum event in Toronto. “I don’t see any information that would cause me to suggest something other than buying more Canadian dollars.”
