Uzbekistan received another important “ticket” in the geopolitical arena

Uzbekistan is rapidly strengthening its position in the international arena in the field of critical minerals. The industry's leading company, the Uzbek Technological Metals Plant (TMK), is turning the country into one of the key centers of global cooperation. One of the significant steps was the official entry of TMK into the Critical Minerals Institute (CMI), located in Canada.

CMI is an intellectual and strategic center of global scale, uniting industrial corporations, government agencies, research centers and investors. Here a “resource map of the future” is being formed. The list of 23 critical minerals published by CMI this year has already become a guideline for technological development and industrial policy in many countries.

“We can become a bridge for TMK in establishing partnerships with leading companies in Canada and the United States. North American companies also need a reliable partner like Uzbekistan,” noted CMI CEO Tracy Hughes.

Membership in CMI opens up a number of advantages for Uzbekistan:

-receiving prompt and reliable information on the resource strategies of the USA, Canada, Australia, Europe and Asia;

-inclusion of rare elements mined in Uzbekistan into international supply chains;

-access to platforms for technology transfer and attraction of investments;

-receipt of a weekly “Critical Minerals Report” with analysis of market fluctuations, political decisions and technological innovations.

Thanks to this step TMK will be able not only to more actively promote the interests of Uzbekistan in the global market, but also to participate in developing positions on issues of regional stability and global security of supplies.
