Foreign media: India is negotiating with Brazil, Canada, France, and the Netherlands on cooperation in critical minerals, aiming to jointly explore, mine, process, and recycle minerals such as lithium and rare earths, and seek access to mineral processing technology.
India's move is aimed at reducing its reliance on China for critical minerals and accelerating its own energy transition.
The Indian Ministry of Mines is leading the initiative, planning to replicate the model of the key minerals agreement signed with Germany, covering areas such as mineral exploration, processing, recycling, and asset development. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau is expected to visit India in March, possibly signing relevant agreements.
