The discussion also highlighted opportunities in Pakistan’s growing mineral sector, inviting Australian firms — both large and small — to invest and share technical expertise to support capacity building.
Both ministers agreed that closer cooperation in renewable energy and resource development could contribute significantly to addressing shared climate challenges while promoting long-term economic growth.
Officials described the engagement as an important step toward deepening Pakistan–Australia ties in energy transition, environmental protection, and sustainable resource development.
