Pakistan assumes presidency of Digital Corporation Organisation

Pakistan assumed the presidency of Digital Corporation Organisation (DCO) on Thursday, succeeding Kuwait at the fifth General Assembly session of the DCO. “I would like to reaffirm Pakistan’s unwavering support for the DCO,” said Pakistan’s IT minister Shaza Fatima, while addressing at the fifth GA session. “Together through collaboration and shared purpose we can ensure that digital transformation delivers inclusive growth and shared prosperity for all and as a founding member Pakistan is proud to see it growing and see it prospering and working towards a shared future.” Why is Pakistan’s presidency of Digital Corporation Organisation important? Pakistan was one of the first five countries, along with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Jordan, and Kuwait, which launched the DCO in November 2020. It was also the first to host the DCO’s Digital Foreign Direct Investment (DFDI) Forum in 2025, which attracted global leaders and investment commitments.
