In accordance with Azfar’s admission, Jack Ma’s trip to Pakistan was entirely personal, and he decided to remain in Lahore while there.
The fact that even the China Embassy appeared to be in the dark about Jack Ma’s visit and engagements in Pakistan raises questions about the circumstances.
By uploading a picture from Jack Ma’s visit to a friend’s house in Lahore, Azfar piqued interest even more. The famous businessman was seen in a casual environment, appearing to take pleasure in the warmth and hospitality of his host.
