The Reko Diq project has significantly increased foreign investment interest in Pakistan, according to the Balochistan Chief Minister. Speaking at a recent economic summit, CM stated that the mega mining project, located in the Chagai district, has the potential to transform the region’s economy, attracting substantial foreign capital and creating thousands of job opportunities for local communities.
The CM emphasized that the Reko Diq project, known for its vast mineral resources, especially copper and gold, is expected to play a pivotal role in strengthening Balochistan’s economic foundation. With international companies showing keen interest in the project, the Chief Minister stressed that it would not only uplift the province’s economy but also contribute significantly to Pakistan’s overall economic growth.
The project, which was previously halted due to legal and financial challenges, has now resumed under a new framework, ensuring greater transparency and mutual benefit for both foreign investors and local stakeholders. The CM reaffirmed that the provincial government is committed to fostering an environment conducive to investment and economic development.
With the Reko Diq project now back on track, experts predict a surge in foreign investments in the region, which could positively impact infrastructure development, employment, and industrial growth in Balochistan.
