National Resource Foresight

A Vision for Minerals, Metals, and Subterranean Sovereignty

National Resource Foresight is a strategic initiative of our think tank, designed to safeguard and advance Pakistan's underground and undersea wealth. It is not limited to mining or extraction; rather, it integrates research, institutional reform, and future-oriented planning. By connecting geological knowledge, industrial integration, governance, geopolitics, sustainability, and foresight, this platform provides policymakers, researchers, and citizens with the tools to ensure national control and long-term benefit from Pakistan's mineral wealth.
