“Digital Pakistan Vision Will Be Stronger with 5G,” Says IT Minister

Pakistan has taken a major step toward modern digital connectivity as the historic 5G spectrum auction moves into its last round of second phase today. Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has completed the bidding process for the 2600 MHz spectrum positioning in the second stage of the 5G assignment.

Federal Minister for IT, Shaza Fatima Khawaja said the auction is a milestone for the country, especially for the youth who will benefit from faster internet and more connected services.

Minister also said that technology is not only vital for everyday life but also for agriculture, health, trade, and national security, highlighting how recent cyber operations demonstrated the importance of strong digital infrastructure in Marka-e-Haq.
