GuoDong Group, a leading Chinese tech and communications company, has expressed strong interest in investing in Pakistan’s digital infrastructure and clean energy ecosystems, according to a statement from the Ministry of IT and Telecom.

The development emerged following a meeting between IT Minister Shaza Fatima Khawaja and GuoDong’s chairman Lu Jie, held on the sidelines of the Global AI Conference in Shanghai. The discussion centered around the potential for collaboration in telecommunication, data infrastructure, and green energy solutions.

The Pakistani IT ministry reported that GuoDong is evaluating opportunities in cloud computing, data centers, and the deployment of telecom towers to improve Pakistan’s internet and communication networks. In parallel, the firm is also looking into smart city applications, EV charging stations, and advanced manufacturing solutions.

Pakistan has become increasingly attractive to foreign investors due to its digital transformation agenda, bolstered by initiatives like the NEVP 2025–30, which aims for 30% of all new vehicles sold to be electric by 2030. Additionally, the country recently committed 2,000MW of electricity for AI and crypto mining centers, signaling a major push into high-tech sectors.

Minister Khawaja welcomed GuoDong Group’s proposals and extended an invitation to visit Pakistan for further exploration and stakeholder engagement. The government reaffirmed its support for easing entry barriers and fast-tracking foreign investments in key sectors.
