The New Indian Express Kollam
|June 13, 2025
INDIA has urged China to ensure stability and transparency in the supply of rare earth elements following Beijing's move to impose special export permits on seven critical minerals and associated magnets.
The issue is expected to be a key agenda item during the visit of the Chinese Vice Foreign Minister, Sun Weidong, who is in India on a two-day trip starting Thursday.
"The Chinese Ministry of Commerce and General Administration of Customs, in early April, announced their decision to implement export controls on certain rare-earth related items. We remain in touch with the Chinese side, in Beijing as well as in Delhi, to bring predictability to the supply chain for trade consistent with international practices," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
