China’s Guodong Group has expressed strong interest in investing across Pakistan’s telecommunications, electric vehicle (EV) charging, and energy sectors, signaling a significant boost to foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country. The Special Investment Facilitation Centre (SIFC) is playing a key role in facilitating this partnership.
Federal Minister for IT and Telecom, Shaza Fatima Khawaja, recently met the Guodong Group delegation in Shanghai during the Global Artificial Intelligence Conference. The Chinese firm conveyed interest in Pakistan’s ICT sector, targeting telecom towers, data centers, and cloud computing infrastructure.
Beyond telecommunications, Guodong Group also aims to explore investments in EV charging stations, smart city technologies, and advanced material manufacturing within Pakistan.
Minister Khawaja welcomed the proposals and invited the delegation to Islamabad for further discussions and partnership exploration, assuring full government support in line with the Prime Minister’s vision for a “Digital Nation Pakistan.”
The SIFC acts as a streamlined “single window” for international investors, facilitating project development and promoting cross-border business collaborations. This engagement with Guodong Group marks a positive milestone in Pakistan’s drive to attract tech-focused and green energy investments to spur economic growth.
