This initiative is considered a crucial milestone towards fulfilling the commitment to women’s economic empowerment in the region.
According to details, the Director General of the SCO formally inaugurated the state-of-the-art digital center in Mirpur, AJK. This new hub is part of the SCO’s “Vision 2025,” an ongoing mission to provide modern IT facilities at 100 different locations across AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan.
