Regional Cooperation and Strategic Partnerships for Critical Mineral Ecosystems

This session will open with a high-level discussion on the strategic vision of Central Asia’s governments for the future of mining and critical raw materials. With shared geological potential across the Central Asian Altaids mineral belt, the region is uniquely positioned to become a global hub for sustainable and secure supply chains — but this will require coordinated policy, investment, and infrastructure strategies. Government representatives will outline their national priorities and regional ambitions, highlighting opportunities for policy alignment, joint ventures, and technical cooperation. The session will also feature insights from key international partners, who will share perspectives on fostering cross-border investment, development collaboration, and long-term partnership in the mining and raw materials sectors.
