Pakistan has officially dispatched its first shipment of enriched rare earth elements and critical minerals to the United States, marking a historic step in economic and strategic cooperation between the two nations. This milestone follows the signing of a $500 million bilateral agreement aimed at strengthening trade ties and supporting Pakistan’s mining sector. The shipment includes valuable minerals such as copper concentrate, antimony, and rare earths like neodymium and praseodymium, which are vital for advanced technologies. Experts believe this move could enhance Pakistan’s global standing as a reliable supplier of critical minerals. The deal also reflects Washington’s growing interest in diversifying its mineral supply chains away from China. Economic analysts predict the partnership will create new opportunities for Pakistan’s mining industry. Overall, the agreement signals a new era of industrial growth and international collaboration for the country.
