The high-level meeting included the participation of executives from leading Chinese companies, and acting Chairman CDA Talat Mehmood Gondal, along with Member Technology and Digitalization Nauman Khalid and other senior officials, APP reported.

Talat Mehmood Gondal underscored Pakistan’s strong commitment to advancing its digital infrastructure and welcomed Chinese investment in the country’s rapidly expanding digital economy.

He highlighted the immense potential for growth in big data and digitalization, noting that this partnership would play a key role in positioning Pakistan as a hub for big data innovation.
