Our commitment to supporting technology adoption for environmentally conscious mining, and to foster global advancement in the minerals sector, especially within the super-region. Recognizing the sector's challenges, there's an urgency to develop a roadmap and address the growing demand for critical minerals essentials for energy transition.  It's imperative that we facilitate dialogue, and collaboration among stakeholders to realize our ambitious energy transition goals," said Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, Bandar bin Ibrahim Al-Khorayef.

 

Continuing to serve as a cornerstone of the annual Forum, the ministerial roundtable will take place on January 9 and bring together the global mining ministries, and other key stakeholders including non-governmental organizations to deliberate on pressing issues facing the mining sector, setting the stage for international cooperation and collaboration.
