India and Myanmar Enhance Cooperation on Rare Earth Minerals Supply
India and Myanmar are strengthening cooperation in the rare earth minerals sector, with Indian delegations visiting Myanmar in December 2024 and February 2026. This partnership aims to secure alternative supplies of critical minerals, especially heavy rare earths from Myanmar's Kachin state, which are vital for electric vehicles, defense, and clean energy technologies. The collaboration has gained momentum over two years and received high-level attention during Myanmar's president's visit to India. Both countries see mutual benefits from sustainable mining and strategic resource development.
