At the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urged local and global investors to seize the vast opportunities in Pakistan’s mineral sector, valued at trillions of dollars. He emphasized the need to move beyond raw mineral exports by focusing on processing minerals locally, which will boost job creation, increase profits, and strengthen the economy. Highlighting the role of modern technology, the Prime Minister called for investment deals that include technology transfer to enhance mining operations. He also proposed establishing vocational training centers to equip local workers with advanced skills and build a stronger industrial workforce.
