At a time when many countries are shutting their doors for Huawei to develop telecom infrastructure, Russia seems to be ready to take a different route. As per the report from Reuters, Huawei Technologies could be a part of Russia’s 5G technology.
The report reveals that the Interfax news agency has cited Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov saying that they are ready to co-operate with China and Huawei Technologies for the development of 5G technology in Moscow.
Another report says that during a Q&A session at the “Territory of Meanings” forum, the minister insisted that Russia has no intention to “follow the example” of the United States “who simply demand not to cooperate on 5G with China and, in particular, with Huawei”.
Instead of following the United States, Lavrov says that Russia is interested in working together with other countries to jointly develop and implement modern technologies.

Huawei, the China-based company which is the world’s leading telecom equipment manufacturers, has been banned by the United States amid security concerns that its tech can spy on the government and users, despite the company denying such claims.
The U.S. government not only banned Huawei in the country but is also pressuring other countries the do the same. Countries like Australia, Denmark, Japan, Poland, Sweden, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and others have banned Huawei from their 5G development.
Recently, the United States tightened restrictions on the Chinese giant and its dozens of affiliates in several countries, making it impossible for the company to manufacture its Kirin series of chipsets that are used in the company’s smartphones.
