Not only was it a chance to interact with global leaders, it presented an opportunity to demonstrate Pakistan’s crucial role in the global technology and telecommunications stage. I hope that our participation this year will help define Pakistan’s socio-economic relationship – one of partnership and cooperation – with the Arab world, as well as the world at large.”
