It is reported that, according to Undersecretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates will soon join Pax Silica, a U.S.-led initiative to secure AI and semiconductor supply chains. Qatar is expected to sign the Pax Silica declaration on 12 January, followed by the UAE on 15 January. The move comes against the backdrop of The Future Minerals Forum, a government‑led global minerals and supply chain conference hosted by Saudi Arabia that will bring together senior officials, industry leaders and investors in Riyadh from 13-15 January. Helberg said the Pax Silica group will focus this year on expanding membership, building strategic projects to secure supply chains and coordinating policies to protect critical infrastructure and technology. Discussions are under way on projects that could modernize trade and logistics routes, including the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor, using advanced US technology to boost regional integration and expand America’s economic footprint.
