He added that the Chinese company was one of the global leaders in providing technology infrastructure and smart devices. He highlighted the company's partnership with other Qatari companies, such as Ooredoo.
He stressed the commitment of the company to the needs of Qatar in the mentioned field, particularly caring for talents in the information technology field as they can play a role in realising the goal of Qatar National Vision.
