Huawei sets up first overseas board of Australia's former foreign minister

Every reporter Li Chao wen from Shenzhen to expand overseas markets, Huawei will Australia's former foreign minister also pulled into its camp. The recent announcement of Huawei's newly established board of Directors in Australia has made it an accident that former Australian foreign Minister Donald Downer is also on the list.　　Huawei said the board was part of its "localized" strategy and would be responsible for managing Huawei's development strategy in Australia and helping to further expand the Australian market. As early as April this year, Huawei said it would set up an Australian subsidiary board to manage Australia's operations, saying the board would be comprised of Australians with extensive commercial and political experience, and would hold its first meeting in the first half of the year.　　This is Huawei's first overseas board of directors. Although the April has laid the groundwork, the list announced recently is surprising. 3 Former Australian senior officials are listed on the list, including former Australian foreign Minister Donald Downer, former governor of Victoria Brumby, Australian retired Navy major General Johnlord.　　Among them, Johnlord will also serve as chairman.　　In addition to local dignitaries, board members will include Huawei Australian subsidiary chief executive Guo Fulin, Huawei's South Pacific Regional director Liujiang (Jeffliu) and Chen Lifang and Li from Huawei's global board.　　Huawei yesterday (June 7) told the Daily Economic news that the Board was part of its "localization" strategy and would be responsible for managing Huawei's development strategy in Australia and helping to further expand the Australian market.　　Huawei in Europe, the United States market has already hired local people in the company as a senior, but the difference is that the "local people" is a number of former dignitaries, and government departments have close ties. Australia has been one of Huawei's main "grain-producing land", and Huawei Australia announced its 2010 income of 171 million Australian dollars, an increase of 29% per cent year-on-year.　　Huawei's big deal in Australia this year is to provide equipment for the Australian telecoms operator Vodafone and Yellow Australia to help its existing 5,800 2G and 3G base stations achieve network optimization. But for Huawei, the big attraction for the Australian market may be the Australian National Broadband Project, which is worth 36 billion Australian dollars for the national high-speed Internet. The Australian government will spend 8 years building an ultra-high-speed fiber-optic broadband network covering the country, the largest infrastructure project in Australia's history.　　At the time, Huawei said it had a strong interest in the project, after the start of the project in 2010, Huawei is more active, but so far, NSN and other manufacturers to obtain contracts, Huawei still has no progress.　　Last January, Huawei developed a government PR strategy for the company through an independent company close to the government's decision-making body, according to local media reports, and Downer was the veteran. But Huawei's daily economic news reporter has repeatedly stressed that the establishment of the board in Australia is their consistent strategy for globalization, not for a single business, this practiceReplicated in other countries.
