Prime Minister Imran Khan welcomed social media platform Facebook’s investments and programmes in the country and asked the company to increase its footprint in Pakistan, reported Radio Pakistan.

The PM invited the social media giant for investments in a virtual meeting with Facebook's Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg on Friday.

The two discussed Facebook's investments in Pakistan, the company's support for digital literacy initiatives in the country and its work around COVID-19.

During the meeting, PM Imran acknowledged the immense potential digital platforms such as Facebook provide, and the role they can play in giving “global opportunities to Pakistani youth and entrepreneurs and how the opportunities they create can lift people out of poverty”.

The prime minister also raised concerns around the global rise in hate and extremism and acknowledged the immense challenge of fighting hate speech online.
The two also discussed Facebook's connectivity investments and research grants that were awarded this year to Pakistan-based academics.

Other topics that were discussed included Facebook's blood donations product, which saw more than 5 million people sign up since its launch, as well as Facebook's support for the government's goal of a polio-free Pakistan.

The PM and Sandberg also spoke about Facebook's SheMeansBusiness Program which is training some 6,700 women across Pakistan.
Sandberg and Prime Minister Imran Khan last met in Davos, Switzerland, in January this year.

The Zions can't even lift their own people out of poverty , how are they going to help Pakistan?
There a lot of Indian workers in Facebook in the bay area and allowing Facebook in Pakistan is like allowing Tata into Pakistan. A bad bad decision not thought out at all.

IK's tilt towards Zions is a security risk to Pakistan and he needs to be watched carefully.

Questionable move since recently Tik Tok was banned and Facebook is being welcomed with open arms

But since this country could not generate the econo-magnetic force. Harvard University has predicted that Pakistan will grow at 6% for the next 10 years and this prediction is higher than predictions for most countries of the developed world. According to this logic, the economic return of talent should be higher in Pakistan in the years to come. Brain drain is one of the most serious (if not the most serious) concerns for us. Policymakers should provide a conducive environment for intellectual capital to stick around as they are the true engine of progress and growth. For talent, I must say, nothing beats apparent economic logic and they must see economic incentives in Pakistan so that they decide not to leave. We need more Facebook, Microsoft, google investment in our country.
There's plus positive aspects and as well as negative aspects. I think we should appreciate Gov proactive move.

Imagine Noora having a meeting with this lady, either he'd offer her an iphone and ask for a date or invite her for dinner of keema daal.
