英国将与沙特阿拉伯签署关键矿产合作协议
UK, Saudi Arabia to sign critical minerals partnership
英国政府周二表示，英国将于本周与沙特阿拉伯签署一项“至关重要”的矿产合作协议，以发展安全、有弹性的关键矿产供应链。
The UK is set to sign a “crucial” minerals partnership this week with Saudi Arabia to develop secure and resilient critical minerals supply chains, the UK government said Tuesday.
Kallanish（开阑商务信息咨询）获悉，英国工业部长Sarah Jones将在利雅得未来矿产论坛期间签署该协议。该部长将率领一个贸易代表团访问沙特阿拉伯，代表团成员包括16家英国关键矿产公司，其中包括Cornish Lithium、Cornish Metals和Beowulf Mining。
Industry minister Sarah Jones will sign the agreement during the Future Minerals Forum in Riyadh. The minister will lead a trade mission to Saudi Arabia with 16 UK critical minerals companies, including Cornish Lithium, Cornish Metals, and Beowulf Mining, Kallanish learns.
Jones预计会说：“在全球经济增长的竞争中，在一个越来越不确定的世界里，英国必须确保这些关键矿产的供应。这就是英国政府制定关键矿产战略的原因。这也是为什么我们要与沙特阿拉伯等盟国建立新的合作伙伴关系，以确保我们的矿产供应链的长期安全。”
“In the global race for economic growth, and in an increasingly uncertain world, the UK must secure supplies of these critical minerals,” Jones is expected to say. “That’s why this government is developing a critical minerals strategy. And it’s why we are forging new partnerships with our allies like Saudi Arabia to secure our minerals supply chains for the long term.”
英国-沙特矿产合作伙伴关系有望吸引沙特对英国的投资，为英国公司向沙特出口其行业专业知识创造新的机会。
The UK-Saudi minerals cooperation partnership is expected to attract Saudi investment to the UK, creating new opportunities for British firms to export their industry expertise to Saudi Arabia.
该协议的签署正值英国政府准备在今年推出新的关键矿产战略之际。英国政府补充说，该战略将重点加强与主要合作伙伴的国际合作，强化英国供应链和国家安全，并支持经济增长。
The agreement comes as the UK government gears up to launch its new critical minerals strategy this year. The strategy will focus on enhancing international collaboration with key partners, strengthening UK supply chains and national security, and supporting economic growth, the government adds.
全球各国都在努力确保能源转型所需的锂、铜、镍和石墨等关键矿产的供应。英国此前已与加拿大、印度和澳大利亚等国签署关键矿产合作协议。
Countries around the globe are moving to secure supplies of critical minerals such as lithium, copper, nickel, and graphite, which are needed for the energy transition. The UK has previously inked critical minerals partnerships with countries including Canada, India, and Australia.
沙特阿拉伯正在迅速发展成为一个重要的矿产供应国，在国内外投资于矿产的开采和加工。其雄心还扩展到电动汽车制造领域。
Saudi Arabia is moving fast to become a critical mineral supplier, investing at home and abroad in the mining and processing of minerals. Its ambitions also span into the EV manufacturing space.
此外，英国和海湾合作委员会本周将继续就自由贸易协定进行谈判。英国政府表示，一项新的贸易协议将使英国与包括沙特阿拉伯在内的海湾地区的双边贸易额增加16%。
Meanwhile, the UK and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are continuing negotiations this week about a free trade agreement. A new trade deal, the UK government says, could increase bilateral trade with the Gulf, including Saudi Arabia, by 16%.
