MIL-OSI Europe: Answer to a written question – Mongolia as a missed opportunity and potential critical raw materials trade partner for the EU – E-002604/2024(ASW)

The Commission has always welcomed cooperation with Mongolia in the area of critical raw materials.

A testimony to that are the multiple invitations the Commission has extended to Mongolia to join multilateral cooperation initiatives led by the EU such as the Minerals Security Partnership (MSP) Forum in 2024.

Mongolia has so far opted not to be a formal member of the MSP Forum.

Nevertheless, the Commission remains open to partnering with Mongolia in critical raw materials, as well as in any other trade-related area. In this context, cooperation on critical raw materials is a subject often discussed at the meetings of the EU-Mongolia Subcommittee on Trade and Investment.
