ISLAMABAD: The federal government is in discussions with Netflix to introduce Pakistani content on the global streaming platform as part of efforts to promote the country's creative industry.

According to officials, the talks are aimed at increasing the international visibility of Pakistani films, television productions and original content while creating new opportunities for local producers, writers and artists.

The initiative also seeks to strengthen Pakistan's digital entertainment sector by enabling locally produced content to reach a wider international audience.
