The three sides agreed to strengthen their ambition in cooperation on critical and emerging technologies, to complement existing bilateral initiatives.
"The initiative will draw on the natural strengths of the three countries and have an emphasis on green energy innovation and building resilient supply chains, including in critical minerals," said the three governments in a joint statement.
The partnership will also explore the development and large-scale adoption of artificial intelligence to improve public services and daily life.
Officials from the three countries are expected to meet in the first quarter of 2026 to advance the initiative.
