KARACHI: Envoy David Hale, while noting that many American companies are thriving here in this Metropolis and many other cities throughout Sindh, reiterated that US was one of the Pakistan’s largest trading partners.

He was speaking to the Media after inaugurating Rs. 314 million state-of-the-art Information Technology Service Center here today.

The Center will support 3,000 employees providing back office and call center services to clients in Pakistan, United States and around the world. 

The Call Center – An initiative of Pak-US venture The Resource Group (TRG) – will provide jobs to recent university graduates.

The Ambassador further held: “Today we mark a successful American-Pakistani business partnership as we inaugurate this new IT services facility”.

Ambassador Hale terming the facility as the largest of its kind here in Pakistan called the move a major expansion of TRG operations and its subsidiary IBEX Global.

Many of its entry-level employees leverage the experience gained at IBEX to pursue mid-level career jobs within TRG or elsewhere in the tech sector.
