Pakistan will participate in the upcoming Future Minerals Forum Riyadh (FMF) in Riyadh, using the global platform to engage investors, policymakers, and mining leaders while previewing the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum (PMIF) 2026 planned in Islamabad. The move signals Pakistan’s intent to position its mineral sector as a priority for economic growth, foreign investment, and downstream industry. With critical minerals rising in strategic importance for energy transition supply chains, the government is expected to highlight exploration potential, regulatory reforms, and partnership opportunities. Riyadh forum is also an opportunity to establish relationships in advance of PMIF 2026.
Pakistan’s goals at FMF Riyadh
At FMF in Riyadh, Pakistan is expected to outline opportunities across exploration, mining services, and value addition. FMF is often used by the representatives of the countries to conduct bilateral meetings, exchange the policy priorities, and find partnerships with regional and global companies.
One of the priorities will probably be the enhancement of the investment climate by enhancing its transparency in licensing and expediency in approvals and enhancing the availability of geological data. Through messaging that is consistent with the international standards, Pakistan is expected to gain the trust of the operators and financiers that are closely monitoring the industry. The involvement also favors the overall Pakistan effort of export growth and industrial development associated with minerals.
Previewing PMIF 2026 in Islamabad
The government’s preview of PMIF 2026 Islamabad at FMF is designed to drive early interest from stakeholders who may attend or partner next year. PMIF 2026 will demonstrate mineral-rich areas, future projects, and policy focus, as well as match provincial authorities with investors and technical experts.
Pakistan can raise the quality of attendance by advertising PMIF 2026 early enough, the serious investors, credible operators and technology providers are prioritized. It also assists in conceptualizing Islamabad as a meeting point of mining dialogue especially the South and Central Asian-oriented supply routes.

Pakistan’s appearance at Future Minerals Forum Riyadh indicates an attempt to join this conversation and convert attention into tangible deals.
If Pakistan pairs conference diplomacy with consistent reforms—such as transparency, stable fiscal terms, and community safeguards—it could strengthen the pipeline of projects discussed under Pakistan minerals investment and build momentum into PMIF 2026. Click here to know more.
