Riyadh – Mubasher: The Council of Saudi Chambers (CSC) has announced suspending the Saudi-Canadian Business Council's activities following the stand-off between the two countries, CSC chairman Sami Al-Abidi said.

The spat which took place Sunday came after a Canadian official criticised civil activist arrests made by Saudi authorities. Saudi Arabia has since rejected this "interference" in its local affairs, recalled its ambassador in Canada and asked the Canadian ambassador in the kingdom to leave.

Pursuant to the updates, national carrier Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia) said Tuesday it had stopped booking flights to Toronto and would suspend flights coming from and travelling to Canada, starting Monday, 13 August.
