[Canada Informs UAE That Current Investment Timing is Inappropriate, Insufficient Ready-to-Launch Projects Available] According to a report by Golden Finance on July 7, the UK *Financial Times*, citing three unnamed officials, stated that Canada's Major Projects Office informed an official UAE delegation in mid-June that it is not an appropriate time for the UAE to invest in Canada. Members of the UAE delegation had sought investment cooperation, but the Major Projects Office politely declined, citing a lack of sufficient ready-to-launch projects within the country at this stage. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney facilitated a commitment of 50 billion Canadian dollars in investment from the UAE last November, but none of the funds have yet been realized. The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not respond to requests for comment, nor did Canada's Major Projects Office. A spokesperson for Canada's Minister of International Trade, Mary Ng, responded to inquiries by stating: "We value our strong and continuously deepening bilateral relationship with the UAE."
