Liberia has reaffirmed its commitment to attracting investment and strengthening international partnerships in the extractive sector following its participation in the Future Minerals Forum (FMF) 2026, held in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The country was represented by the Liberia Chamber of Mines in collaboration with the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The Liberian delegation was led by the Minister of Mines and Energy, Hon. R. Matenokay Tingban, alongside Mr. Amara Kamara, President of the Liberia Chamber of Mines.
The Future Minerals Forum is a government-led global platform focused on shaping the future of the minerals and mining sector. Since its launch in 2022, the Forum has grown into one of the world’s leading minerals gatherings, bringing together representatives from more than 100 governments, industry leaders, multilateral institutions, academia, and civil society. The event promotes dialogue on investment, sustainability, transparency, and responsible development across the entire mineral value chain.
FMF serves as a key space for government and industry engagement, emphasizing practical solutions that support infrastructure development, capacity building, and responsible mining practices, particularly in emerging and resource-rich economies.
During the forum, Liberia highlighted its investment potential and ongoing reforms aimed at creating a favorable environment for foreign direct investment in the extractive industries. The Liberia Chamber of Mines and the Ministry of Mines and Energy used the platform to engage with international stakeholders and explore opportunities for partnerships that align with Liberia’s development priorities.
Speaking on the importance of Liberia’s participation, Mr. Amara Kamara stated that sustained investment remains critical to the country’s growth, noting that the Chamber will continue to pursue every opportunity that supports responsible mining and long-term economic development.
Liberia’s presence at FMF 2026 underscores the country’s commitment to international engagement and its determination to position the mining sector as a driver of inclusive and sustainable growth.
