Nokia, the world's leading mobile manufactures, plans to establish a telecommunication expertise centre in Pakistan to provide services in the region.
Dr Walid Moneimne, the Nokia senior vice president for Europe, Middle East and Africa, told a news conference here on Wednesday that the centre would help Pakistan maximise telecommunication sector shares in its GDP growth.
Walid said the company was planning to hire experienced professionals as well university students for its new project.
These students, Moneimne added, would then be provided training to make them able to be the part of the world's largest telecommunication giant.
"Today, Nokia announces the plan to set up the telecommunications expertise facility in Islamabad," he added.
The facility, he announced, would be used for training, trials, competence development and customisation of GSM technology with core and radio networks capabilities.
