Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Asim Munir discussed with Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) CEO Bilal Bin Saqib the future of the country’s digital economy, with a core focus on empowering the youth through blockchain, cryptocurrency, and artificial intelligence.

The meeting underscored a growing national commitment to emerging technologies as a pathway for economic resilience and global relevance. Central to the discussion was the belief that Pakistan’s youth must be at the heart of this transformation.

“The Pakistan Crypto Council exists because our youth demand a seat at the global tech table,” said Bilal Bin Saqib. “We are building for a generation that sees digital finance, decentralization, and AI not as threats—but as opportunities to lead, innovate, and uplift the nation.”

He outlined a forward-looking roadmap that aims to accelerate innovation and unlock widespread opportunity in Pakistan’s growing digital financial ecosystem.
