Dear Members and Supporters of Bringing PayPal.com to Pakistan In response to our efforts to encourage PayPal.com to authorize Pakistan and its Knowledge Workers to receive payments for their services rendered in the global knowledge economy, some efforts are bearing fruits with the support of the local government and industry as more supporters join the campaign from various walks of life. I would like to share some significant news that our representative and famous Pakistani IT Industry Leader Mr. Ibrahim Qureshi (Director Raffles Pvt. Ltd. http://www.rafflesystems.com) is amongst the entrepreneurs participating in the US Obama's Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship April 26-27, 2010, from countries with sizeable Muslim populations http://blogs.america.gov/ip/2010/03/29/600/. Ibrahim is supporting our "PayPal Authorize Pakistan Now! Campaign" (http://apps.facebook.com/causes/266093) and we are making efforts to connect with PayPal to negotiate and explore this opportunity. Ibrahim will meet both the US Administration as well as members of the Trade & Industry community and encourage them to open up e-payment services and facilities in Pakistan to boost the local small and medium enterprise efforts as well as Micro Businesses that require services such as PayPal.com. This blog is being read by the US Trade & Industry community as well as US government representatives. I would like to request all of our readers to kindly support the campaign by visiting http://blogs.america.gov/ip/2010/03/29/600/ and pasting encouraging comments to Mr. Ibrahim's blog post. Kindly keep comments very focused to the business and economic benefit aspects of introducing PayPal.com in Pakistan.
