Poland and the U.S. Strengthen Ties in Critical Minerals through Strategic Agreement

Poland and the U.S. have signed a Strategic Agreement to enhance cooperation in critical minerals, aiming to secure supply chains for both nations and their allies.

A Strategic Collaboration and Technical Cooperation Agreement was signed in Warsaw between three special-purpose vehicles (SPVs), Permia 1, Permia 2 and Permia 3, and M2i Global, Inc., represented by its CEO, Major General (Ret.) Alberto Rosende. The agreement is a private-sector initiative that aims to strengthen Polish-American cooperation in critical minerals, focusing on secure and resilient supply chains for raw materials essential to a range of industries.

The signing was attended by U.S. Ambassador Thomas Rose and Prof. Krzysztof Galos, Poland’s Chief National Geologist and Deputy Minister at the Ministry of Climate and Environment. Their presence underscored the importance of international collaboration in addressing supply chain vulnerabilities. The event took place as part of the U.S.–Poland Critical Minerals Business Roundtable, which brought together Polish and American stakeholders for dialogue and partnership-building.

The agreement is seen as a practical step towards closer Polish-American cooperation, particularly given the growing importance of global supply chain security. The collaboration is expected to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, technology and resources, supporting more sustainable and secure access to critical minerals.

It also reflects wider recognition of the role critical minerals play in modern economies, from technology and energy to defence. As countries seek to reduce dependence on single sources of supply, partnerships between private-sector players on both sides of the Atlantic, such as the one between the Permia SPVs and M2i Global, are becoming increasingly important.

The U.S. Embassy in Warsaw and the participants expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to take part in this dialogue, highlighting their commitment to long-term partnerships that enhance supply chain resilience and security in the critical minerals sector.
