Formal Agreement Signed in Germany
The MoA was signed during the Government of Canada’s Critical Minerals Mission to Germany. The ceremony was attended by senior Canadian and German government officials, including Prime Minister Mark Carney, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Tim Hodgson, and Minister of Industry Mélanie Joly, alongside Germany’s Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, Dr. Katherina Reiche.
