ISLAMABAD: A delegation of American companies met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir, announcing an initial investment of 500 million dollars in various sectors of Pakistan.
According to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office, the American firms plan to establish a state-of-the-art polymetallic refinery in Pakistan, which will support the export of gold, copper, and other valuable minerals from the country.
The agreement aims to create jobs, enable technology transfer, and ensure sustainable development, with the US companies expressing interest in a long-term partnership with Pakistan.
The visiting delegation showed a keen interest in investing in mining and infrastructure sectors. A landmark agreement was signed between Pakistan’s Frontier Works Organization (FWO) and an American company for collaboration in critical minerals. The delegation also received a comprehensive briefing on Pakistan’s reserves of copper, gold, and other natural resources.
In addition, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the National Logistics Cell (NLC) and another US firm to cooperate in logistics and construction sectors.
This development comes at a time when Pakistan is actively seeking to attract foreign direct investment and strengthen strategic economic partnerships, particularly in sectors with untapped potential such as mining, infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing. Officials view this engagement as a key step toward enhancing economic stability and global investor confidence.
Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and several federal ministers also attended the high-level meeting.
