Pakistan, US Agree to Strengthen Mining, Minerals, and Energy Partnerships

Pakistan and the United States agreed on Thursday to promote partnerships in the mining, minerals, and energy sectors, according to a statement from the Interior Ministry.

The agreement came during a meeting between Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi and US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs John Mark Pomeroy.

Pomeroy highlighted the importance of US–Pakistan relations and condemned recent terrorist attacks in Islamabad and Quetta, expressing condolences to the victims.

Interior Minister Naqvi welcomed US investment and assured that American investors would be provided a safe environment to operate in Pakistan. He stressed that global cooperation was essential in combating terrorism and emphasized the role of US–Pakistan relations in ensuring regional security.

The discussion also covered bilateral relations, regional developments, and counterterrorism cooperation, with a focus on internal security. Senior officials present included Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry, US Charge d’Affaires Natalie Baker, and Interior Ministry Secretary Khurram Agha.

Earlier this month, Pakistan participated in the inaugural Critical Minerals Ministerial at the US Department of State, underlining Islamabad’s push to expand foreign investment and strategic partnerships in minerals and energy.
