  A reporter asked a question that on May 4, in an announcement issued by the Ministry of Telecommunications of India, Chinese telecom companies were not approved to participate in 5G communication experiments with Indian telecom operators.

What is China's comment?

  Wang Xiaojian said that China has taken note of the announcement and expressed concern and regret that Chinese telecom companies have not been approved to participate in the 5G communication experiments with Indian telecom service operators.

Related Chinese companies have been operating in India for many years, providing a large number of jobs and contributing to the construction of India's communications infrastructure.

The practice of excluding Chinese telecommunications companies from cooperation not only harms the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies, but also hinders the improvement of the Indian business environment and is not conducive to the innovation and development of related industries.

  Wang Xiaojian pointed out that China hopes that India will do more things that are conducive to mutual trust and cooperation between the two countries and provide an open, fair, just, and non-discriminatory investment and business environment for market players from various countries, including China, to invest and operate in India.
