Over the last 7 months, Nextbridge and Alibaba have collaborated to set up a team of sales and support staff in Pakistan to facilitate local businesses in exporting their products through Alibaba.com. Not only have the two been successful in rolling out this facility on schedule but also exceeded targets month after month within this short span of time. To further solidify this cooperation between the two parties, Alibaba's Country Manager Jason Jia and Business Director Martin Wang visited Pakistan and the Nextbridge Head Office to meet with the team and senior management. The series of meetings ran on the agenda of discussing ways to address the unique challenges of Pakistani market such as lack of understanding for e-commerce, the need to train some suppliers to properly use the platform, payment options and more.
