ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar highlighted the significant progress of Pakistan’s mineral sector under the auspices of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) on Wednesday.
Speaking with a delegation from Miracle Salt Collective Inc. during their visit, he hoped about the burgeoning development in the industry, valued at billions of dollars.
The Prime Minister expected a boost in salt exports following the prospective joint venture between Pakistan Mineral Development Corporation (PMDC) and Miracle Salt, which he believed would enhance trade relations with the US. He said that this collaboration underscored Pakistan’s appeal as a favorable destination for foreign investment.
Highlighting the global recognition of Himalayan pink salt as a symbol of Pakistan, he welcomed its increased presence in international markets. He also acknowledged the caretaker government’s efforts in promoting foreign direct investment and facilitating businesses, which had yielded positive outcomes in a short span.
The delegation from Miracle Salt expressed gratitude to the government, particularly the Special Investment Facilitation Council, for their support. They informed the Prime Minister about their plans to list the company on major stock exchanges worldwide, which would benefit both the Pakistani government and local investors.
Furthermore, the delegation briefed the Prime Minister on their action plan for economic enhancement, education, healthcare, and employment opportunities in salt mining areas, aiming to uplift the local population.
