With the facilitation of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has announced a strategic collaboration with Finland’s globally renowned company Metso Corporation to uplift the mineral sector in Pakistan on Tuesday.
According to the 24NewsHD TV channel, the announcement was made during the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum, where a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the two companies. The objective of this partnership is to boost exploration and processing of mineral resources within Pakistan.
The collaboration aims to pave the way for the exchange of international-standard technology and expertise, enabling Pakistan to enhance its capabilities in the mining industry.
PPL and Metso will conduct joint feasibility studies and strategic planning for key projects in the mineral sector. The initiative is expected to improve the mineral value chain, attract increased investment, and generate local employment opportunities.
Backed by SIFC's support and high-level facilitation, this effort is a significant step toward the sustainable and efficient utilisation of Pakistan's national mineral assets. The successful hosting of the forum is also expected to stimulate further investment and marks a milestone toward a brighter mineral future for Pakistan.
