US Consul General in Lahore Stetson Sanders has expressed hope that Apple may set up an office in Pakistan in the future.

According to Stetson Sanders, after Google established a local presence in Pakistan, other major global technology companies are also showing increasing interest in the Pakistani market.

Pakistan’s rapidly expanding digital market, increasing use of technology and opportunities in the IT sector have caught the attention of global companies. Google’s local presence is also being described as a significant development for Pakistan’s technology sector.

The US Consul General’s hope regarding Apple’s possible physical office comes at a time when Pakistan is trying to carve out a niche for itself as an emerging market for global technology companies.

If Apple establishes a regular physical office in Pakistan, it could be a significant development for the country’s technology ecosystem, investment and digital economy.
