Sweden is one of the most developed countries in the world where the service sector plays a fundamental part in its GDP and Pakistan is a developing country on the rise where again the service sector plays a major role in the country's GDP. Sweden has an edge over most countries in the world when it comes to infrastructure and Pakistan has its own plus points with a wide range of work force thus opening new horizons for Pakistani workers to move into Sweden for work and for Pakistani managers to gain skills and expertise from there Swedish counterparts.
