JOHANNESBURG – THE Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) has welcomed Huawei as an information and communications technology (ICT) Sector Member.
This is a membership category of the CTO that is open to the private sector.
Shola Taylor, the CTO’s secretary-general, said members of the CTO greatly benefit from knowledge and experience sharing.
“Huawei’s membership will help strengthen our organisation and its contribution to the use of ICTs for development across the Commonwealth,” said Taylor.
Like the CTO, Huawei has a long-standing commitment to international capacity development.
The Huawei Authorized Information and Network Academy (HAINA) is a not-for-profit partnership programme that authorises universities and colleges to deliver Huawei certification courses to students.
Victor Zhang, President of Global Government Affairs at Huawei, said the CTO was a highly respected international body providing a strong platform for both the public and private sectors to exchange best practices related
to the promotion and use of ICT innovation.
“Huawei is committed to driving the innovation of ICT industry and contributing to CTO’s agenda by sharing its global vision and practice,” said Victor Zhang.
