The meeting, held at CDA Headquarters under the chairmanship of Muhammad Ali Randhawa, was attended by Special Technology Zones Authority (STZA) Executive Director Aamir Saleemi and other officials.
During the briefing, it was revealed that 28 Special Technology Zones have already been notified nationwide, with 141 acres allocated for the Islamabad project. The zone will include a technology park, high-tech production facilities, and designated commercial and residential areas.
