A $440 million deal with Komatsu symbolizes more than just industrial expansion; it signals a moment of revolution as Pakistan’s Reko Diq project is ready to receive some of the biggest mining trucks ever imported into the nation.
The mine is changing the face of opportunity in Balochistan, from developing technical capability to teaching women in Nok Kundi for simulator-based truck training.
