Baloch National Movement Opposes Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2026 Over Resource Concerns
The Baloch National Movement (BNM) has opposed the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2026, scheduled for November 12-13 in Islamabad, alleging that it aims to exploit Balochistan's mineral resources without the consent of its people. The BNM described the initiative as 'mineral colonialism,' warning that such foreign investments could deepen regional conflict and marginalize the indigenous population. The group urged international investors to avoid involvement unless the Baloch nation's collective consent is obtained.
