KARACHI: Amid growing international interest in Pakistan’s mining and trade sectors during the ongoing Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025, a significant digital partnership has been established between Pakistani and Turkish firms to transform cross-border trade.

In a statement issued on Thursday, Galaxefi Solutions, a leading Pakistani digital freight management platform, announced it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with AsirDx, a Turkish technology company specialising in digital transformation and data exchange solutions. The agreement aims to deploy the Galaxefi platform across Turkey, with plans to ultimately integrate it with the Turkish Single Window system.

The MoU was signed in Karachi on Wednesday by Galaxefi founder and CEO Asif Pervez and AsirDx Group CEO Halil Saribas. This strategic alliance represents a major step forward in the digitalisation of global logistics, as both companies commit to building seamless, transparent and efficient cross-border trade systems.

“The Turkish market is central to the future of regional and intercontinental logistics,” said Asif Pervez. “Our alliance with AsirDx is a pivotal move towards enabling a digitally unified trade environment. Ultimately, we aim to link the Galaxefi platform with the Turkish Single Window to create a streamlined logistics ecosystem.”

Echoing the sentiment, Saribas said: “We are excited to collaborate with Galaxefi in bridging global logistics with national digital infrastructure. Our shared goal is to deliver cutting-edge solutions that enhance transparency and efficiency in cross-border trade.” At the same time, Galaxefi is also working to integrate its platform with the Pakistan Single Window (PSW), a development that will further strengthen regional trade connectivity and streamline logistics between the two countries.
