Minister for Petroleum Dr. Musadik Malik participated in the 4th annual international meeting of mining ministers today in Riyadh with participations of representatives from 85 countries. He had diverse engagements with international mining leaders and industry experts. He also visited Pakistan Pavilion and met with key stakeholders from the minerals sector. The Future Minerals Forum (FMF) in Riyadh kicked off today with an impressive start, as global mining leaders, service providers, and operators from around the world began showcasing their innovations and forging new connections. The Pakistan Pavilion, one of the key highlights, welcomed over 500 visitors on the first day alone, signalling a strong interest in Pakistan’s mining sector. By midday, the Pakistan Pavilion had already hosted approximately 350 visitors, including representatives from major global mining operators, industry service providers, potential investors, media personnel, and members of the diplomatic corps in Riyadh. Delegates were seen engaging in productive discussions, setting the stage for fruitful partnerships over the next two days of the forum. The Pavilion’s design and exhibits garnered widespread acclaim, particularly the ‘Mineral Map of Pakistan,’ which creatively highlighted the country’s rich mineral resources. The Pavilion is a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) of Pakistan and 12 prominent companies from Pakistan, ranging from operators and joint-venture equity stakeholders to essential service providers. The Pavilion was curated and organized by Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL). The Pakistan Pavilion is positioned as a focal point for potential investors and collaborators eager to explore the vast opportunities in Pakistan’s burgeoning mining sector. His Excellency, the Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, took a tour of the FMF later in the afternoon, engaging with delegates and exploring the various exhibits. Looking ahead, the Pakistan delegation is set to host a key 90-minute session on Thursday, where they will share insights on Pakistan’s mining opportunities and strategic vision for the future.
