Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Tarek El Molla, confirmed that the Egypt Mining Forum 2023 in its current edition witnessed momentum and turnout from international and local mining companies, and the participation of mining ministers in a number of countries.

During its two-day activities, panel discussions and specialized technical sessions were held, and everything new in the mining activity was showcased by the companies taking part in the exhibition accompanying the conference.

This came during the closing fireside chat concluding the forum under the title ‘Outlining Egypt’s Vision to Develop its Mining Sector’.

The minister stated that the progress and development achieved during the past year as a result of the reforms and measures by the state to develop the mining sector and the success in achieving mutual benefit for all parties confirm that Egypt is on the right track.

El Molla explained that the reforms by the state to develop the mining sector were good, but they have become insufficient, especially in light of the challenges facing the world, due to the Corona pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian crisis. There are still challenges facing investors, but through cooperation together, these challenges can be overcome and success can be achieved.

Egypt is committed to its partners in this regard and is committed to all environmental laws, social responsibility and governance, all of which are steps towards moving forward, El Molla noted.
