Interim IT and telecommunication minister says implementation of proposed project will benefit Pakistan by several million dollars
aretaker Minister for IT and Telecommunication Dr Umar Saif addressing a meeting. — X/umarsaif
"We often talk about CPEC trade corridor, but equally big opportunity is for Pakistan to become a digital corridor of connectivity for China, Russia and Central Asian States with the rest of the world," the minister wrote on his official account on X on Wednesday.
Saif said that the country now has fibre connectivity from Kashgar to Karachi and can offer low latency connectivity for China transit traffic with the evolving network of submarine cables connecting Africa and Europe.
"Our digital corridor can reduce the latency from 120 [minutes] to just 20 [minutes].
The minister termed this "a huge opportunity for Pakistan".
The statement came after Dr Saif's meeting with all the internet service providers, special communication organisation representatives and submarine cable operators.
The minister said that the implementation of the proposed project would benefit Pakistan by several million dollars.
He said that the global traffic can be linked to the submarine cable with the help of an optical fibre cable network present from Khunjerab to Karachi and Gwadar.
Saif further stated that all the resources and required facilities have been provided for the digital corridor. "Soon Pakistani people will be given good news about global networks."
