There is immense potential for digital trade between Pakistan and China as the former is actually moving towards digitalization, and the China International Fair for Trade in Service provides an opportunity for the BRI countries to really look into the prospect,” said Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) of Pakistan to China Ahmed Farooq in an interview with China Economic Net (CEN).
The CIFTIS held from September 5 to 9 is the largest comprehensive exhibition in the field of global trade in services in China.
The event organized under the background of global economic recovery is meant to provide opportunities for international businesses together online and offline and facilitate cooperation.
Addressing a session of Belt and Road Digital Trade under the fair, Ahmed said the CIFTIS is conducive to restoring economic vitality, improving trade connectivity, and facilitating the development of digital trade in the region.
While talking about digital development in Pakistan, Ahmed noted it holds a bright future especially in the post-pandemic era when offline business is undermined and online becomes the trend.
