The Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has said that the ministry has developed an e-payment gateway in the country.
In a statement on Wednesday, he said that a test-launch was pending due to incomplete back-end work on the platform which needed more time.
In order to launch it immediately, we will need support from China.
