Canada, India agree on critical minerals, uraniumAFP, NEW DELHIIndia and Canada yesterday reached a string of agreements, including on critical mineral cooperation and a “landmark” uranium supply deal for nuclear power, the countries’ leaders said in New Delhi. The pacts, which also covered technology and promoting the use of renewable energy, were announced after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney hailed a fresh start in the relationship between their nations. “In civil nuclear energy, we have struck a landmark deal for long-term uranium supply,” Modi said, adding that the countries would also work together on small modular reactors and advanced reactors. “As India seeks access to critical minerals for its manufacturing, its clean-tech and its nuclear plants, Canada’s resource base and world-leading companies position it as a strategic partner,” he said. The two countries last year agreed to resume negotiations on a proposed free-trade deal, the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement.
