Suedia declară exploatarea metalelor critice şi a metalelor rare zonă de securitate naţională / O nouă strategie minieră pentru a contracara dependența de China

The Swedish government has declared critical and rare metal mining a national security interest, aiming to reduce dependence on China. A new mining strategy is proposed to expedite planning and attract investments. The Per Geijer deposit is crucial for Europe, containing significant rare metal oxides. Minister Ebba Busch emphasized the need for state support in mining projects, despite tensions with the indigenous Sami population. The government is considering establishing a state investment company for the mining sector.
