Tawasul, Unicom sign co-operative partnership deal

KUWAIT, March 25, 2015

Tawasul Telecom, a leading provider of MPLS networking services in the GCC and the Middle East, and China Unicom (United Network Communications Group Co), a leading communications and information service provider, have signed a co-operative partnership agreement.

The agreement was signed at the Capacity Middle East event, which was sponsored by Tawasul and held at Grand Hyatt hotel in Dubai, UAE recently.

Salem Almulaifi, chief marketing and strategy officer at Tawasul, said: “We were pleased to announce our new strategic partnership at Capacity Middle East, one of the world’s largest telecom events.

“China Unicom’s vast network, proud history, and technical expertise were all key factors that lead Tawasul Telecom to pursue this agreement.”

The new partnership is a great achievement for Tawasul to start the year. It is an accomplishment to have the company continue transcending its geographical borders by further expanding into Asian markets, he added.

Phyllis Yeung, vice president of Emerging Markets, International Carrier Business Department, China Unicom (Hong Kong), said: "We are exploring business opportunities in new and emerging markets, particularly in the Middle East. Tawasul plays an important role in the MENA region, and we are very excited to be working with them."

The move will see China Unicom provided with access to Tawasul’s MPLS network, which connects the Middle East, including all six GCC nations, Egypt, as well as London, Frankfort, Singapore and Hong Kong.

In return, Tawasul will be provided with access to China Unicom’s network, which spans main-land China, Hong Kong, and other markets throughout the Asia-Pacific region. - TradeArabia News Service
