Statement on Solomon Islands undersea cable

(Sydney, 21 August 2017) Huawei Technologies rejects the baseless allegations made in the Fairfax newspapers (20/8) regarding the Solomon Islands undersea cable project.

These allegations have no basis in fact, and we denounce this type of groundless coverage. Huawei has never given, implied, nor promised any political donations in relation to this project.

As a global business entity, Huawei does not involve itself in politics. Huawei forbids all of its global subsidiaries from making any form of political donation, including in places where this practice is legal.

Cyber security remains a top priority at Huawei. We incorporate strict security protection into all of our business processes, and remain open to working with governments and industries to address global cyber security challenges together.
