This comes just a week after US President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, Richard Grenell had tweeted on X asking Musk to add Pakistan to the list of places where Starlink internet is needed.
Earlier this Monday, Minister of State for Information Technology and Telecommunication Shaza Fatima Khawaja confirmed that Starlink was registered with the Security Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
