Pakistan China Launch Digital Mining Platform
Pakistan China cooperation in the mineral sector has entered a new phase with the launch of the Pak China E Mining Platform, a digital initiative designed to modernize Pakistan’s mining industry and attract large scale foreign investment.
The platform aims to improve transparency, efficiency, and access to information, making it easier for local and international investors to explore mining opportunities across Pakistan.
Pakistan China Investment Target of 10 Billion Dollars
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal said the new platform has the potential to attract more than 10 billion dollars in foreign investment.
He explained that this initiative aligns with Pakistan’s broader strategy to shift the China Pakistan Economic Corridor into its next phase, which focuses on production, exports, and industrial development rather than infrastructure alone.

Pakistan China Platform Features for Investors
The Pak China E Mining Platform will provide comprehensive digital data, including:
Information on mineral resources
Clear licensing and regulatory procedures
Investment opportunities across provinces
Officials believe the system will reduce delays, improve coordination between institutions, and create a more investor friendly environment, particularly for Chinese companies.
Pakistan China Focus on Strategic Minerals
Pakistan has encouraged Chinese firms to invest in high value mineral resources such as copper, gold, and rare earth elements. These minerals are in strong global demand and play a vital role in industries including renewable energy, electronics, and advanced manufacturing.
The government has also emphasized value addition, ensuring minerals are processed locally rather than exported in raw form.
Economic Growth and Sustainability Goals
Authorities believe the initiative will help create jobs, increase exports, and support long term economic growth. Sustainability and responsible mining practices are being prioritized to protect the environment and promote community development.
Officials described the platform as a symbol of growing trust between Pakistan China partners and a key step toward modernizing the country’s mineral sector.
Historical Context
Pakistan China economic cooperation has steadily expanded since the launch of CPEC in 2015. While early projects focused mainly on energy and infrastructure, recent years have seen a shift toward industrial cooperation, technology, and resource development. The E Mining Platform reflects this evolution and highlights a shared commitment to long term economic integration.
