Japan and France Plan Rare Earth Cooperation.

Japan and France are working on a new agreement to secure supplies of rare earth minerals, which are essential for technologies like electric vehicles and electronics. The plan aims to reduce dependence on China, which currently dominates global production of these materials. The agreement includes plans for a new refining project in France and increased cooperation between the two countries. Experts say this move reflects a broader global effort to strengthen supply chains and ensure access to critical resources in an uncertain geopolitical environment.
