The Balochistan Board of Investment and Trade (BBoIT) wants Chinese investment in mineral processing and expand copper ore exports through deeper bilateral cooperation.
In a virtual meeting with the Consul General of Pakistan in Shanghai and the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), officials discussed shifting from raw mineral exports to value-added processing within Balochistan.
BBoIT CEO Abdul Kabeer Khan Zarkoon discussed the province’s vast reserves of copper, gold, and other strategic minerals. He said the region has enough potential to become a regional hub for mineral processing. He said the provincial government is committed to improving infrastructure, creating jobs, and ensuring returns for foreign investors.
Zarkoon assured full support and regulatory protection for international firms investing in Balochistan’s mineral sector.
Pakistan currently exports around $1.2 billion worth of copper ore to China annually.
