The Prime Minister stated that he will not tolerate any additional delays in the Special Technology Zones Authority’s reforms and implementation of measures to make it functional. Furthermore, the premier said that during its era, PML-N set the groundwork for teaching skills to the youth in order to enhance IT exports, and millions of people made a living from the laptops distributed to the youth during the global coronavirus outbreak.
