In his inaugural address Centre was his own brainchild and added that he was proud to lay foundation of fulfillment of another dream as mathematics should be our national priority. “We need to enhance our production capacity and improve our standard continuously. We need to introduce knowledge and information revolution in the country and introduce innovations in all sectors,” he said. The Minister said Pakistan had huge potential to get place among top economies of the world for which “We need to conduct research on modern ground,” adding that the government had already started projects to establish centres of excellence for artificial intelligence, cyber security, big data, cloud computing and robots. He said digital Pakistan was aimed at equipping the young generation with modern technology to ensure its effective usage. “We must put Pakistan on road to prosperity with help of all areas and segments of the country,” however, it is only possible when we have competitiveness, stability and continuity in policies.
