It is with great honour that we announce the Ministerial Dialogue Webinar, featuring The Hon Madeleine King MP, Minister for Resources, and moderated by our President, Mr Sam Jamsheedi.
This landmark event underscores the critical role of the mining and minerals sector in strengthening the bilateral partnership between Australia and Saudi Arabia. With a focus on innovation, sustainability, and economic growth, the webinar will explore opportunities for enhanced collaboration and investment in this vital industry.
Importantly, this webinar also serves as a key precursor to the Future Minerals Forum, scheduled for 14–16 January 2025, where ASBF will lead a strong Australian delegation and proudly showcase Australia's capabilities at the official Australia Stand—a historic first. This demonstrates Australia's unwavering commitment to advancing bilateral relations, driving innovation in the mining sector, and fostering global partnerships.
This dialogue is a direct result of the success of the Aussie Expo, led by the Australian Saudi Business Forum (ASBF), which has facilitated unprecedented engagement and paved the way for numerous direct Ministerial Dialogues between Australia and Saudi Arabia. The Expo highlighted the immense potential for collaboration across sectors, particularly mining and resources, further cementing ties between the two nations.
We are proud to facilitate this pivotal dialogue, bringing together government leaders and industry stakeholders to shape the future of mining and critical minerals, while setting the stage for meaningful collaboration at the Future Minerals Forum.
