However, the Facebook spokesperson denied the news in a statement issued to a media outlet, saying that Facebook is not planning to open an office in Pakistan.
Advisor to KP CM, in a recent interview aired on a private news channel, said that Facebook is coming up with three or four new projects in Pakistan and will also turn on 'monetization' (making money from videos) for Pakistani users, for which necessary legislation will be enacted. The National Assembly Speaker is also being contacted to help in this regard who has assured cooperation.
However, National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser also tweeted in this regard.
Thumbs up to @ZiaBangashPTI for putting up tireless efforts in the IT sector in KP. He is very keen to take steps for promoting the IT sector and moving fast towards implementing Prime Minister @ImranKhanPTI #DigitalPakistan vision. 1/4

In a statement, given to local media Facebook spokesperson said: "We are continuing to invest in Pakistan through dedicated teams, services to the Pakistani market, and programmes such as SheMeansBusiness (which enhances the capacity of local people). But Facebook currently has no plans to open an office in Pakistan. "
He added: "Our community is international and we are working without an office in many countries of the world."
