Pakistan's Federal Minister for Energy (Petroleum Division), Ali Pervaiz Malik, on Friday briefed foreign ambassadors on the upcoming Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025 (PMIF25) and invited delegates from their respective countries to explore Pakistan's vast mineral resources and investment opportunities.
According to a press statement, Malik encouraged foreign countries to participate in this transformative dialogue shaping the future of Pakistan's minerals sector.
Scheduled for April 8-9, 2025, at the Jinnah Convention Centre, Islamabad, the forum will bring together global ministers, leading corporations, investors, policymakers, and industry experts to explore Pakistan's mineral potential, the statement said.
Addressing an event at Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) Headquarters, the Federal Minister emphasised Pakistan's immense mineral wealth, including one of the world's largest copper and gold reserves. He stated that PMIF25 will serve as a gateway for international investors to explore Pakistan's evolving mining landscape, gain insights into government policy reforms, and assess large-scale mining potential.
PMIF25 will offer a premier platform for global stakeholders to explore investment opportunities in Pakistan's minerals sector. The event will highlight key panel discussions such as 'Driving Responsible Growth in Mining Development' and will feature an exhibition of Pakistan's leading mining resources and technologies.
The forum will also showcase Pakistan's recent policy reforms, including the National Mineral Harmonisation Framework.
