Information Technology Minister Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari has vowed that there would be no backtracking or rollback of policies that were already beginning to bring telecom revolution in the country. "Let me assure the investors and all stakeholders that we are a responsible government and there would be no backtracking or rollback of the policies introduced in the telecom sector," he said in a meeting with Ricardo Tavares, executive vice president, GSM Association, here on Wednesday.
The minister said that the government valued the confidence of investors and it would take all possible measures to further strengthen this confidence. "We expect that bodies like GSM Association will encourage and help us in the capacity-building and strengthening the regulatory regime in the telecom sector," he added.
Ricardo Tavares lauded what he called "the most clear, simple and straightforward polices" introduced in the sector and believed the policies would propel Pakistan to a telecom revolution.
He also invited Awais Leghari to attend the Asian GSM conference scheduled to be held in Singapore later this year. He hoped Pakistan's telecom policies would become a model for all those countries that are looking to open up their economies in near future.
