Saudi Arabian Crown Prince MBS Gets G-7 Invitation From Canada

Canada has invited Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to attend the Group of Seven summit, according to a person familiar with the matter, in another sign of a new approach to foreign policy under Prime Minister Mark Carney.

MBS, as the de facto Saudi leader is known, was invited to last year’s G-7 in Italy but wasn’t able to attend. It’s not yet clear whether he’ll join this year’s event, which begins Sunday in Kananaskis, Alberta.
