Just before Eid al-Adha, Makhdoom Asad Shah, Vice President of the Pakistan Peoples Party, returned from the United States and met with key professionals in Karachi’s digital and media industry. They sat down to talk about jobs for youth, fair business practices, and how to build Pakistan’s image in the world through honest work.
Attendees:
- Simon Christopher, Chief Operating Officer at The Writer News
- Christopher Anderson, senior media professional with many years of experience in directing and production
- Herschele Christopher, one of Pakistan’s youngest digital marketing experts and a well-known human rights advocate
These three also lead two growing companies:
- SAT Americana, a US-based digital, IT, and software firm that helps companies grow using AI and people-first thinking
- Digital Raccoons, a full-service digital marketing agency in Pakistan. They proudly tell the world they are from Pakistan and work with clients across many countries
What They Discussed:
This was not just a meeting. They came together with a clear goal — to find real ways to improve the digital industry and help Pakistan move forward.
Main Points:
- Give Jobs Based on Skills: Everyone agreed that young people in Pakistan need chances to work based on what they can do, not who they know
- Fix the Global View of Pakistan: They talked about how some people outside Pakistan still see the country as untrustworthy. They want to prove, through real work, that Pakistani professionals are honest and skilled
- Keep Business Fair and Clear: The group said they will charge fair prices, give clear answers, and do what they promise
- Show the World What Pakistan Can Do: They said that companies in Pakistan can do world-class work. They plan to show this by delivering strong results
Makhdoom Asad Shah’s Role:
Makhdoom Asad Shah listened to everyone in the meeting. He understood the problems. He said he believes in working with the private sector to help young people and support honest businesses.
He said the world will trust Pakistan again when people see results, not just big promises. The people at the meeting agreed.
Why This Meeting Matters:
This was a real step forward. It showed that when political leaders and digital professionals work together, good things can happen. As Pakistan’s digital industry grows, these talks can turn into action.
The Writer News will keep following this story. In the coming months, more meetings and new plans are expected.
