SAO PAULO, March 13 (Xinhua) -- Brazil aims to move beyond the simple extraction of mineral resources and expand its participation in higher value-added stages of global supply chains for critical and strategic minerals, the country's Ministry of Mines and Energy said Friday.
"Strengthening the participation of producing countries in global supply chains for critical minerals also means giving them a greater voice in defining rules, strategies and policies," said Gustavo Masili, general coordinator for strategic minerals and energy transition at the ministry.
