Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir on Tuesday said Pakistan is ready to emerge as a leader in the global mineral economy.
Addressing the Pakistan Mineral Investment Forum 2025, the army chief extended an invitation to international institutions to collaborate with Pakistan in exploring and developing its vast mineral resources, a state-run news agency, APP, reported.
“I firmly believe that Pakistan is ready to take a leading role in the international mineral economy,” the army chief stated.
Welcoming international institutions, General Syed Asim Munir invited global stakeholders to bring their expertise to Pakistan, explore investment opportunities, and partner with us in developing the vast potential of our mineral resources.
He said there is dire need of engineers, geologists, operators, and skilled miners to explore Pakistan’s mineral wealth.
“That is why we are also sending students abroad for training to support the development of this sector,” he said.
