Critical Resources, Strategic Partnerships

Session Summary

As competition for critical minerals, energy, and other strategic resources intensifies, access to natural resources is becoming an increasingly important dimension of economic and national security. The United States has an opportunity to strengthen relationships with allies and strategic partners by mobilizing investment, supporting responsible resource development, and expanding commercial partnerships. Dr. Gracelin Baskaran, Jyothish George, and the Hon. John Jovanovic will examine how government and industry can work together to unlock investment in resource-rich markets, advance secure and resilient supply relationships, and leverage commercial diplomacy to strengthen U.S. competitiveness and shared prosperity.
