Shi said: “As a company that is dedicated to better connecting the world by improving efficiency and meeting challenges head-on, we look forward to interacting with Ooredoo, our hosts from Qatar, and our counterparts from all over the world at the ITU Telecom World 2014.” The event brings together influential global leaders in ICT from the public and private sectors, for strategic debate, knowledge-sharing, innovation showcasing and networking at the highest level.
