Huawei Applauds Launch of U.S. National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security

PLANO, Texas, Feb. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei Technologies, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, applauds the U.S. Administration's initiation of a National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security.   Huawei agrees with the Administration that international trade has been and continues to be a powerful engine of growth and that the global supply chain system that supports this trade is a critical global asset.

As a trusted worldwide leader with operations in over 140 markets that supports the telecommunication needs for a third of the planet's population, Huawei believes that enhancing the integrity of goods as they move through a global supply chain and strengthening the global supply chain to prevent exploitation and disruption are critical and global challenges.  Huawei recognizes that with so many technology vendors having geographically dispersed supply chains, a concerted international effort to agree on international standards and approaches will benefit the economic well-being of all countries.

Huawei is committed to openness and transparency and offers governments and its customers full access to its complete operations to ensure the utmost safety and security of its products and services.  Huawei welcomes the opportunity to share with relevant governments and other stakeholders its global learning and best-practices, and reiterates this openness in the specific context of the upcoming State and Homeland Security Departments-led engagement with industry stakeholders on how to implement the U.S. National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security in a cost effective and collaborative manner.
