The Prime Minister of this Caribbean nation, Andrew Holness, welcomed the initiative, congratulated the Asian company for adopting this decision and stated they expect its continued growth in the territory and in the region.

‘Huawei provides cutting-edge connectivity, has played an essential role in the growth of wireless technology and improves data penetration with LTE implementations,’ he underlined.

He cited the company’s commitment to protecting the country’s environment by ensuring the newly constructed work building has a low carbon footprint and uses renewable energy sources.

The company provides indirect jobs in information and communication technologies to more than 300 people, while the investments indicate strong confidence in the country, estimated the head of government.

Huawei’s Vice President, Mchael Xue, focusing on Latin America and the Caribbean, thanked Jamaica for its support over the past 15 years as it established his roots locally.

The Chinese ambassador in this capital, Chen Daojiang, stressed that the relationship between the two States remains solid and recalled that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral ties.

The giant Huawei, with 65 availability zones around the world as well as products and services in more than 170 States, has been operating in Jamaica since 2007 with ascending cooperation until becoming a strategic partner.
