This panel brings together government leaders from resource-rich regions and the European Commission to discuss how international partnerships can balance economic opportunity, environmental responsibility, and strategic autonomy. What does a 21st-century raw materials partnership look like? How can Europe and its partners build resilient, transparent, and mutually beneficial supply chains?
