In a tweet, Minister of Energy Hammad Azhar remarked, “I congratulate Lucky Group and Samsung on forming a joint venture to produce smartphones in Pakistan.” “These good achievements demonstrate the effectiveness of the DIRBS system, which eradicated phone trafficking and was later followed by a mobile manufacturing strategy last year.”

According to Tecno Pak Telecom CEO Aamir Allawala, Samsung was a mobile phone powerhouse, and its choice to build phones in Pakistan was evidence of the effectiveness of the government’s Mobile Device Manufacturing Policy (MDMP), which was introduced in June 2020.

The policy’s aim was clear: by 2022, 80 percent of all smartphones sold in Pakistan must be made domestically, he added.

He believed that attaining the policy’s objectives would be a difficult challenge for the sector and that the government’s help would be critical in this respect.

He stated that Samsung would start production in December 2021.
