Sudan’s Minerals Minister Invites Chinese Investment
Sudanese Minister of Minerals, Nour Al-Daim Mohamed Ahmed Taha, has invited Chinese companies to invest in Sudan’s mining sector.
Speaking on Thursday at the Tianjin Mining Conference 2025 in Tianjin, China—which brought together African mining ministers, industry experts, and leading global mining companies—the Minister highlighted Sudan’s investment-friendly environment, including incentives, facilities, and progressive regulations designed to attract foreign investors.
He underscored Sudan’s vast mineral wealth, ranging from precious metals such as gold to energy minerals like cobalt, lithium, and copper, in addition to strategic and rare minerals.
The Minister also urged African countries to maximize the benefits of their mineral resources through local production, processing, and value addition prior to export—rather than relying on raw material exports—so as to promote sustainable development and strengthen national economies.
He concluded by reaffirming Sudan’s commitment to supporting investment, capacity-building, and technology transfer in the fields of exploration and production, emphasizing the country’s desire to build strong, mutually beneficial partnerships with friendly nations—particularly the People’s Republic of China, a key partner in developing Africa’s mining sector.
