The inaugural event featured six experts, including Parvez Iftikhar,
International Consultant on ICT Policy and Regulation; Khalid Khan,

Discussing the benefits of 5G for developing countries like Pakistan and
Nepal, the panelists concluded that enhanced connectivity could provide
solutions to infrastructure challenges, such as remote healthcare and
education, IoT for agriculture and disaster recovery, and enable new
business models that could contribute significantly to the GDP of these
countries. The panel also delved into the importance of creating an
environment for innovation and entrepreneurship by building the
necessary infrastructure and implementing good regulatory policies,
especially when it comes to addressing the key challenges associated
with 5G rollout, such as geographical barriers and spectrum
affordability. The speakers emphasized the need for commercial viability
and public-private sector cooperation to maximize the potential of 5G in
these countries.
“As a region experiencing robust growth, Asia is yet to fully benefit
from the deployment of 5G. Our sector is making huge strides toward
making 5G a reality for consumers, and today's discussion offers a
glimpse of what lies ahead for this vibrant region and its digital
