Huawei Repair Centre in Islamabad to Create High-Skilled Jobs, Save Foreign Exchange: Minister
Pakistan's IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja welcomed the opening of a Huawei repair centre in Islamabad, saying it would create skilled jobs and reduce foreign exchange outflows.
Federal Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunication Shaza Fatima Khawaja welcomed the establishment of Huawei Pakistan's Repair Centre GSC in Islamabad on Thursday, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, the minister said the facility would create high-skilled employment opportunities and reduce foreign exchange outflows by enabling repairs to be carried out locally rather than abroad.
Push to build local tech capacity
Khawaja said the centre would help Pakistan move from being primarily a consumer of technology to becoming a builder of technology, reflecting a broader government push to strengthen the country's domestic tech sector.
Further details of the ceremony and the specific scale of the new repair centre's operations were not disclosed in the available report.
