RP Hosts International Mining Event

 

The ASEAN Federation of Mining Associations (AFMA), with the Chamber of Mines of the Philippines as host supported by the Minerals Development Council, Office of the President is holding the 8th Asia Pacific Mining Conference and Exhibition on October 14-16, 2008 at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza. ASEAN Mining Ministers and Senior Officials are expected to come to Manila as the event coincides for the first time with the ASEAN Ministers on Mining Meeting (AMMin) and the ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting on Mining (ASSOM). Amidst a dynamic global economic environment, changing market architecture and the strategic role of minerals and metals in the global economy, the event promises to shape the immediate and long-term future of the minerals industry in the region. There is strong optimism that countries in the region will continue to grow in spite of the financial turmoil in the U.S and Europe.

 

AFMA co-sponsors the ASEAN Mining Ministers Meeting on Minerals and coordinates with the Senior Officials in drafting the Manila Declaration on Responsible Mining which will be considered by the Ministers. The Private Sector Forum on Cooperation in Minerals in ASEAN, which precede the ASEAN Ministers Meeting, hopes to bring out strategic policies of mutual interest to the member countries as well as issues and concerns that will be considered and acted upon by the Mining Ministers.
