Pakistan pursuing vision of accelerated digitisation: president
INPWuzhen - President Mamnoon Hussain on Wednesday said that Pakistan is pursuing the vision of accelerated digitisation to transform a knowledge-based economy.
Addressing the 2nd World Internet Conference in Wuzhen - China, he said that our focus remains on development of information and communications technology infrastructure across the country with special emphasis on serving marginalised segments of society and bridging digital divide. He said that the IT revolution had fundamentally altered perception of reality, time and space.
He said that this revolution was reshaping our identity, geo-politics, security dynamics of the 21st century and the whole range of other paradigms. He said that Pakistan fully realises the potential of information and communications technology for socio-economic growth. “We consider it as key enabler to achieve sufficiency, transparency, good governance and empowering the people,” he said.
