為了將巴基斯坦轉變為全球數字創新領導者的開創性，政府宣布分配2,000兆瓦（MW）

In a groundbreaking move to transform Pakistan into a global leader in digital innovation, the government has announced the allocation of 2,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity in the first phase of a national initiative to power Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence (AI) data centers.

為了使巴基斯坦成為全球數字創新領導者的開創性舉動，政府宣佈在國家針對電力比特幣採礦和人工智能（AI）數據中心的國家計劃的第一階段分配了2,000兆瓦的電力（MW）。

This ambitious initiative is being spearheaded by the Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) - a government-backed body operating under the Ministry of Finance - as part of a broader strategy to monetize surplus electricity, create high-tech jobs, attract billions of dollars in foreign direct investment, and generate billions of dollars for the government.

這項雄心勃勃的倡議是由巴基斯坦加密委員會（PCC）率領的，這是一個由財政部下運營的政府支持的機構，這是一項更廣泛的戰略的一部分，以使盈餘電力貨幣化，創造高科技工作，吸引數十億美元的外國直接投資，並為政府帶來數十億美元的投資。

The initiative follows the recent decision by the government to legalise cryptocurrency in a move designed to attract international investment. The PCC was launched in March to "regulate and integrate blockchain technology and digital assets" into the country's financial landscape.

該倡議遵循政府最近決定將加密貨幣合法化，以吸引國際投資。 PCC於3月推出，以“規範和集成區塊鏈技術和數字資產”納入該國的金融格局。

Federal government has appointed entrepreneur Bilal Bin Saqib as the chief adviser to the finance minister on the council.

聯邦政府已任命企業家比拉勒·本·薩基布（Bilal Bin Saqib）為理事會財政部長的首席顧問。

A statement by the Finance Division said that this initiative is being launched as part of a broader strategy to monetize surplus electricity, create high-tech jobs, attract billions of dollars in foreign direct investment, and generate billions of dollars for the government.

財政部的一份聲明說，這項倡議是作為一項更廣泛的戰略的一部分，該倡議是通過盈餘電力，創造高科技就業機會，吸引數十億美元的外國直接投資，並為政府帶來數十億美元的一部分。

Minister for Finance Muhammad Aurangzeb said that this strategic allocation marks a pivotal moment in Pakistan's digital transformation journey, unlocking economic potential by converting excess energy into innovation, investment, and international revenue.

財政部長穆罕默德·奧蘭奇布（Muhammad Aurangzeb）表示，這種戰略分配標誌著巴基斯坦數字化轉型之旅的關鍵時刻，通過將過量的能源轉化為創新，投資和國際收入來釋放經濟潛力。

"Pakistan is uniquely positioned - both geographically and economically - to become a global hub for data centers. As a digital bridge between Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, Pakistan offers the most strategic location in the world for data flow and digital infrastructure," the statement said.

聲明說：“巴基斯坦在地理和經濟上都是獨特的地位，以成為數據中心的全球樞紐。作為亞洲，歐洲和中東之間的數字橋樑，巴基斯坦為數據流和數字基礎設施提供了世界上最具戰略意義的地理位置。”

Since the inception of the PCC, there has been tremendous interest from global Bitcoin miners and data infrastructure companies. Several international firms have already visited the country for exploratory discussions, and following this landmark announcement, more global players are expected to visit in the coming weeks.

自PCC成立以來，全球比特幣礦工和數據基礎設施公司引起了極大的興趣。幾家國際公司已經訪問了該國進行探索性討論，並在此具有里程碑意義的公告之後，預計將在未來幾週內訪問更多的全球參與者。

Pakistan's initiative to invite foreign companies for setting up Bitcoin and AI data centers comes as part of broader efforts to diversify its economy and reduce dependence on traditional industries.

巴基斯坦邀請外國公司建立比特幣和人工智能數據中心的舉措是使其經濟多樣化並減少對傳統行業的依賴的更廣泛努力的一部分。

The initiative is also expected to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs, and will help to develop a skilled workforce in engineering, IT, and data sciences.

該倡議還有望創造數千個直接和間接的工作，並將有助於發展工程，IT和數據科學方面的熟練勞動力。

The statement said that the initiative is a win-win situation for all parties involved. It will enable foreign companies to deploy their capital and technology in a stable and supportive environment, while also generating significant revenue for the government and creating new opportunities for the people of Pakistan.

聲明說，該倡議對於所有有關方面都是雙贏的局面。它將使外國公司能夠在穩定且支持性的環境中部署其資本和技術，同時為政府帶來可觀的收入，並為巴基斯坦人民創造新的機會。

"We are excited to welcome foreign companies to Pakistan to be part of this transformative initiative," said Bilal Bin Saqib, CEO of the PCC.

PCC首席執行官Bilal Bin Saqib表示：“我們很高興歡迎外國公司加入巴基斯坦，成為這項變革性倡議的一部分。”

"Together, we can unlock the full potential of Web3 and AI to drive economic growth and improve people's lives."

“一起，我們可以釋放Web3和AI的全部潛力，以推動經濟增長並改善人們的生活。”

This initiative is a key part of the government's broader vision for digital transformation in Pakistan, which also includes plans to develop a national metaverse strategy and introduce a central bank digital currency.

該倡議是巴基斯坦政府對數字化轉型更廣泛願景的關鍵部分，該計劃還包括制定國家元元戰略並引入中央銀行數字貨幣的計劃。
