Additionally, it would explore the “development and mass adoption of artificial intelligence to improve the lives of our citizens.”
Officials from all three nations will meet in the first quarter of 2026 to take the initiative forward, the statement said.
The announcement comes at a time when global attention is increasingly centred on critical minerals, clean-energy technologies and technology-driven economic security.
India has been seeking to strengthen its access to critical minerals and expand domestic processing and manufacturing capacity as part of its clean-energy transition.
Australia, a major producer of minerals used in batteries and electronics, has deepened technological and resource cooperation with India in recent years.
Canada, with established processing capabilities and an active critical-minerals strategy, has been pursuing new international partnerships in this area.
Details on governance, funding mechanisms and joint projects are expected to emerge post the inaugural meeting.
