Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown at Downing Street in London were present at a signing ceremony in which Vodafone formally recognized Huawei Technologies a key supplier of networking gear. One of the more recent agreements recognised was Vodafone Turkey' s decision to select Huawei to build its 3G network to deliver voice and fast speed data services to its customers. The project, which will run over the next five years, will cover major cities in Turkey, including Istanbul.
