In a major technological development, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Afnan Ullah reportedly announced that a team from tech giant Google will be visiting Islamabad next month to begin operations in Pakistan by the end of December 2022.
The Senator announced that the Google delegation would be visiting Pakistan on December 11. He claimed the government would also be working to extend the range of services being provided by Google.
He further said that Google will also be providing 15,000 scholarships to Pakistani citizens once it commences operations. Earlier in September, Google launched Career Certificates in Pakistan to allow Pakistanis to avail flexible learning paths regarding acquisition of digital skills.
Separately, Google also donated $500,000 to Pakistan to help it recover from the flood crisis back in September. "Our hearts go out to each and every one impacted by the ongoing floods in Pakistan. Even when faced with the fear of having their homes washed away and vital farmland destroyed, we have also witnessed Pakistanis and communities coming together to help each other. We are inspired by their bravery, and we want to help," Google Southeast Asia Vice President Stephanie Davis said in a statement.
