Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Mining and the United States Embassy have expressed a mutual interest in expanding investment within South Sudan\u2019s mining sector, emphasizing that economic growth must be anchored by robust legal and regulatory reforms.<\/p>\n

This development follows a high-level meeting between the Minister of Mining, Hon. Losuba Ludoru Wongo, and the U.S. Ambassador to South Sudan, Michael J. Adler, on Thursday, April 9. The discussions focused on improving the country\u2019s investment climate and ensuring full regulatory compliance by all international firms.<\/p>\n

Minister Losuba disclosed that the meeting addressed a specific case involving a mining company led by an American citizen that had reportedly failed to comply with local laws.<\/p>\n

He stressed that adherence to national legal frameworks is a non-negotiable requirement for all investors, regardless of nationality. \u201cWe felt it was important to resolve these issues amicably to help our two countries work together as closely as possible,\u201d Minister Losuba stated. \u201cWhat we want is for everyone to work within the laws and regulations of this country to maintain peace and stability. Without laws and regulations, we cannot attain lasting peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ambassador Michael J. Adler reaffirmed Washington\u2019s interest in increasing U.S. private sector engagement in South Sudan, noting that American investment could lead the way to long-term prosperity. However, he underscored that a more predictable and transparent regulatory environment is essential to attracting serious investors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe South Sudanese people have waited too long for peace and to benefit from the resources of their country,\u201d Ambassador Adler said. \u201cWe are confident that U.S. investment could help lead the way to prosperity, and we call for changes that would create an environment conducive to such investment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The meeting concluded with both parties agreeing that while South Sudan\u2019s mineral wealth offers immense potential for economic transformation, the success of the sector depends on a mutual commitment to transparency, the rule of law, and a stable investment climate.<\/p>\n
