Gavin Attends UK-Ukraine Critical Minerals Ministerial Meeting in London

Gavin was invited to a high-level ministerial meeting on UK-Ukraine cooperation on critical minerals in London, held by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Critical Minerals in partnership with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. The meeting marked a milestone in the UK-Ukraine 100 Year Partnership.

It featured the presentation of Ukraine's new Critical Minerals Strategy and the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the British Geological Survey and the Ukrainian Geological Survey, which aims to align how mineral deposits are mapped and reported. Speakers included Noah Law MP, Chair of the APPG, Stephen Doughty MP, Minister of State at the FCDO, and Yegor Perelygin, Deputy Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine. Gavin has written several pieces on the war in Ukraine and critical materials value chains. More detail is in the Critical Minerals Association post.
