Joint Declaration of Intent between #Canada and #Germany on Critical Minerals Cooperation
The Department of Natural Resources (NRCan) of Canada and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) of Germany recognize the strategic importance of critical minerals to the economic and national security of our countries, including defense applications, the energy transition, clean technology manufacturing, and advanced manufacturing. We concur on the growing need for secure, diversified, and resilient critical mineral supply chains that reduce reliance on any single source and strengthen economic security.
We acknowledge the significance of critical minerals midstream technologies, including smelting, processing, refining, and recycling capacity to ensure secure and sustainable supply, and we share mutual interest in fostering innovation, rules-based trade, investment, and collaboration in the critical minerals space. Building on existing commitments under the Canada-Germany Energy Partnership, the Canada-Germany Hydrogen Alliance, the EU-Canada Strategic Partnership on Raw Materials, and the G7 Critical Minerals Action Plan objectives to strengthen sustainable supply chains, we have established the following common objectives.
