ISLAMABAD: Eric Meyer, Senior Official for the Department of State’s Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs, visited the Capital on 8th and 9th April to advance US interests in Pakistan’s critical minerals sector, expand opportunities for US businesses in Pakistan, deepen economic ties between the two countries, and underscore the vital importance of continued collaboration on counter-terrorism.
On the margins of the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum, Eric Meyer highlighted support for investment in Pakistan’s minerals sector: “Critical minerals are the raw materials necessary for our most advanced technologies…President Trump has made it clear that securing diverse and reliable sources of these materials is a strategic priority. Pakistan’s vast mineral potential—if responsibly and transparently developed—can benefit both our countries.” The United States continues to work with international partners and Pakistani stakeholders to explore opportunities for investment, technical collaboration, and responsible resource management in the minerals sector.
Eric Meyer also met senior Pakistani officials, including PM Shehbaz Sharif, COAS Gen Asim Munir, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, and Minister of Petroleum Musadik Malik, to expand opportunities for American businesses in Pakistan, promote the deepening of economic ties between the two countries, and underscore the vital importance of continued collaboration on counter-terrorism. During his visit, Eric Meyer appreciated the opportunity to meet Pakistani foreign policy thought leaders, members of the American chambers of commerce, and public diplomacy program alumni to strengthen the close and enduring people-to-people ties between the two countries.
