The Fourth Annual Sudan International Mining Forum and Exhibition kicked off on Monday in capital Khartoum, with more than 40 countries in participation.
According to Sudan’s Prime Minister Mutaz Musa, when addressing the forum’s opening session, “this forum is convened under very complicated regional and international circumstances.”
The current challenges need efforts to enhance partnerships in mining field, create an appropriate atmosphere and provide the required infrastructures, he noted.
Musa further reiterated Sudan’s commitment to opening the doors for people willing to invest in Sudan’s mineral fields.
Sudan’s Minister of Petroleum and Minerals Azhari Abdelgadir Abdullah reiterated his country’s keenness to provide investment opportunities and double the production.
He explained that around 460 mining companies were operating in Sudan, saying that the traditional mining is considered the biggest sector as it employs nearly two million people.
The forum, convened during Feb. 18-20, is scheduled to discuss mining issues presented by Sudanese and foreign scholars.
Sudan is seeking to make gold a major source of foreign currency after losing three quarters of its oil revenues due to the separation of South Sudan in 2011.
