OSLO, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Norwegian telecoms operator Telenor (TEL.OL) hopes to decide on a strategic solution for its Pakistan business before year-end, the company's CEO told Reuters on Wednesday.
"We are in contact with many parties now, which is why I say I'm rather optimistic that we will by the end of the year have a final solution," CEO Sigve Brekke said.
The three options are a merger similar to what Telenor has already done for other parts of its Asia businesses, a sale, or to continue but in a different operational model, he added.
