Roadmap for Pakistan 2030. It also highlighted the transformational role of artificial intelligence in
governance, cloud and data infrastructure, business innovation and social development.
Speaking at the occasion, Mr. Ali Waqas, Executive Director BSS and IT Infrastructure, Zong said, “Trust is
the foundation of responsible AI adoption, and it begins with educating customers on how their data is
used and ensuring clear, informed consent wherever personal information is involved. Pakistan now
needs a stronger national direction on AI, including defined targets for computing power, robust
public–private partnerships, and policies that enable safe data sharing for national research while
protecting identity-sensitive information. The next step is to drive adoption across key sector so we can
unlock productivity, strengthen innovation, and position Pakistan as a competitive AI-driven nation.”
Mr. Waqas Munim, Head of Digital Technologies, Zong, outlined the strategic opportunities for AI-driven
growth in Pakistan. While presenting CMPak’s AI white paper titled; “Empowering a Smart Future:
Building a Trustworthy and Sustainable AI+ Ecosystem”, he said, “Zong is taking a decisive step toward
building a human-centric, intelligent future for Pakistan. Our goal is not to replace people, but to
empower them, using AI to enhance networks, transform customer experiences, and create new
opportunities across industries. Guided by China Mobile’s global expertise and aligned with Pakistan’s
national AI vision, we are committed to deploying ethical, transparent, and secure AI systems that will
drive innovation for the next decade and beyond.”
