EU internal documents show the bloc is pursuing increased critical-mineral sourcing from Vietnam to reduce exposure to potential supply-chain shocks. Vietnam holds deposits of tungsten, rare earths, antimony, bismuth and bauxite that can yield gallium as a by‑product. Current Vietnamese exports to the EU are concentrated in tungsten and antimony, both used in defence manufacturing, including ammunition and explosives. A document urges EU institutions to prepare concrete cooperation deliverables for a visit by Vietnamese leader Su Lin; four European and Vietnamese officials said Su Lin is expected in Brussels next week with a planned meeting with EU leaders on Oct. 22, though the trip has not been formally announced.
