ISLAMABAD, Oct 21 (APP): Federal Minister for Petroleum Ali Pervaiz Malik on Tuesday invited Australian companies to invest in Pakistan’s mining sector.
The invitation was extended during his meeting with the Director General (Minerals), Government of Western Australia.
According to a news release received here, the DG briefed the minister on the vital role of the mining sector in the Australian economy.
While delivering a keynote address at “Pakistan’s Energy Transition and Critical Minerals Development: Unlocking New Frontiers for Global Partnership” at the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) 2025, held in Sydney, Ali Pervaiz Malik highlighted Pakistan’s vast mineral potential and its firm commitment to building a low-carbon and climate-resilient future.
He outlined a clear vision for responsibly developing the nation’s geological resources, ensuring that economic growth goes hand in hand with environmental protection.
This approach, he said, positions Pakistan not only as a country with significant resource potential but also as a forward-looking partner in the global fight against climate change.
He said that Pakistan contributes less than one percent to global greenhouse gas emissions yet faces some of the world’s most severe climate impacts.
He said Pakistan’s energy transition was not merely a policy choice but a necessity—essential for national adaptation, water and food security, and long-term economic stability amid growing climate challenges.
The minister also highlighted opportunities for international collaboration, stressing that with strong political will, investor-friendly reforms, and rich untapped geological potential, Pakistan offers promising frontiers for responsible global partnerships.
He underscored the country’s ambitious renewable energy targets, attractive investment incentives, and vast reserves of critical minerals as key areas open for mutually beneficial development.
