In a great leap forward, Pakistan has made its debut 5G video call. In an event hosted by Zong, Pakistan’s Minister of Information Technology and Telecommunication, Syed Aminul Haq made an official video call to the Chinese delegation in Beijing.

There is a considerable amount of anticipation among the public in Pakistan regarding the launch of 5G. Pakistan has a large community of internet user base in Asia.
