While Twitter and Facebook have expressed their inability to establish offices in Pakistan in the near future, the world’s largest search engine and video-sharing platform Google is set to open a liaison office in Pakistan. IT and Telecom Minister Syed Aminul Haque announced on Friday that the global giant has already registered itself as a company in Pakistan. “A delegation of Google is scheduled to come to Pakistan early next week from Singapore and the company will likely announce the establishment of a functional office here,” Haque told Dawn. He also disclosed that TikTok has also agreed to establish a liaison office in Pakistan. The IT minister has recently expressed confidence that more social media platforms will establish their offices in Pakistan, but industry sources said that Twitter and Meta have been reluctant so far.
