The CEO Zeeshan Mian Noor said that their target is the low-end market of the Middle East. “We are manufacturing the Chinese brands and there are a large number of ex-pat workers in the Gulf countries,” he said, adding the high-end consumers of Gulf countries prefer top world-class mobile brands and we should not even try to get involved in that market.”
IT and Telecom Minister Syed Amin ul Haque told the media that the current government policies have helped Pakistan to go from mobile importer to exporter.
