Federal Minister for Information Technology & Telecommunication, Mr Syed Amin Ul Haque graced the occasion to acknowledge and certify these achievements and bestowed federal recognition to Systems Limited. Applauding the company’s Forbes accolade, the Federal Minister admired Systems Limited CEO & Managing Director Mr Asif Peer’s leadership and the team’s efforts that added grace to our National Flag in a major competition in Asia. He further termed the IT sector’s recent growth to be “remarkable and surpassing all traditional sectors,” further emphasizing that the time is right for the country’s traditional sectors to consider the potential of IT export business in Pakistan.

“With the overwhelming business response, Pakistan needs serious investments in branding, infrastructure and capacity building and other resources, not only from the government, but also from the private sector,” said Mr Syed Amin Ul Haque.

Addressing the distinguished guests, Mr. Asif Peer said, “It has been a tremendous journey. I have seen a very close collaboration between the government, the PSEB, our Prime Minister, and Federal Minister. We appreciate the way the government helped us and we remained open while following protocols. We were approached by neighbouring countries to take upon the additional workloads, which is a huge opportunity.”
