Like it has in other nations like India, Facebook, which is owned by Meta, has been asked to reopen operations in Pakistan.
Facebook representatives have committed to visit Pakistan immediately after being notified by the Pakistani authorities about the matter.
The invitation was sent out during a meeting between Meta representatives from Romania and Federal Minister for Information Technology (IT) Syed Aminul Haq.
For the Ministerial Conference of the International Telecommunication Union, around 186 ministerial delegations assembled in the European country (ITU PP-22) (ITU PP-22). Romania’s capital city of Bucharest hosted the summit.
The IT Minister noted during the conference that Pakistan presently has over 40 million Facebook users and anticipates its internet user base to double in the following years.
Employees at Meta expressed delight with Pakistan’s internet development and pointed out that the number of Facebook users in that nation has climbed dramatically in recent years.
The IT Minister used the chance to request that Facebook establish local offices in Pakistan.
Officials from the large social network firm assured that they will soon visit the nation.
It’s important to note that this is not the first time a report of this kind has appeared.
Facebook representatives reportedly discussed opening local offices in Pakistan with the director of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) earlier this year.
Both parties apparently spoke for more than 3.5 hours, covering a wide range of topics.
The Director made it clear that setting up a local office in Pakistan was a requirement for Facebook, just like it was for other South Asian countries like India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.
