Canada and Lesotho established diplomatic relations in 1966. Lesotho businesses can apply for support from the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives, which has funded projects focused on gender equality.[citation needed]

Canada continues to strengthen ties by increasing foreign aid and university scholarships for high school students in Lesotho. [2]
