Five weeks after 176 people were killed, including 57 Canadians, when Iran's military launched two missiles at a Ukrainian jetliner, Trudeau said he is working with the Netherlands and other partners to implement several recommendations to make the world safer for people to fly.

Trudeau is on a farm in Keri, about 50 kilometres outside the capital of Dakar, to witness how $14 million in Canadian aid over the last 10 years helped stimulate vegetable production.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he raised the cases of Canadian citizens detained in Egypt with that country's president at a summit of African leaders.
