First Meeting of the Eurasian Critical Minerals Organisation (ECMO)

The panel concluded that ECMO has an important role to play as a practical, delivery-focused platform. Rather than duplicating existing diplomatic initiatives, ECMO aims to support implementation by bringing together governments, state-owned enterprises, investors, technology providers and financial institutions. By promoting transparency, best practice and ESG-aligned development, ECMO can help reduce investment risk, support responsible project development and unlock international capital. In doing so, ECMO seeks to help Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan turn their significant mineral endowments into resilient, diversified and sustainable supply chains .
