Kaan apprised the Prime Minister about Jazz\u2019s investment in Pakistan, which has crossed US$ 10 billion including US$ 560 million in the last two years alone on 4G network expansion – taking the total number of 4G users to 34.2 million, cementing Jazz\u2019s position as the number one 4G operator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the meeting, Kaan also talked about the role Jazz is playing in improving digital infrastructure, enhancing connectivity, investing in digital skills and literacy, promoting entrepreneurship and innovation, and driving financial inclusion through JazzCash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prime Minister Imran Khan valued the Group\u2019s commitment to Pakistan including the sustainability initiatives that empower the young with digital tools and resources. \u201cThe government launched the \u2018Digital Pakistan\u2019 initiative to provide a platform to the youth and it is heartening to see private sector companies like Jazz carry the mantle,\u201d the prime minister said. He also highlighted the key role mobile operators play in a country\u2019s economic growth by bringing in foreign investment, fostering connectivity, and enabling other sectors to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Pakistan is a key market for VEON, and we see tremendous growth potential as the country continues to implement its \u2018Digital Pakistan\u2019 vision. To accelerate this and to encourage private sector investment in broadband connectivity and network expansion, a forward-looking regulatory regime in line with next-generation connectivity requirements, and a policy framework facilitating innovative business models are needed,\u201d said VEON Group CEO Kaan Terzio\u011flu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUtilising our leadership position and global expertise, we are focused on creating a flourishing digital ecosystem in Pakistan. Constantly investing in expanding access to 4G to rural and semi-urban areas, and in innovating and adapting our digital services to become a digital lifestyle partner for our customers is at the core of this journey,” said Jazz CEO Aamir Ibrahim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
