Huawei to seek swift resolution for detained executive

China’s Huawei Technologies will call for a quick resolution of the case regarding its detained executive in Canada who is accused of violating U.S. sanctions on Iran, the company’s chairman, Liang Hua, said on Tuesday.

Axar.az reports citing Reuters.

Liang, who was appointed acting chief financial officer of Huawei in December following the arrest of the company’s CFO at the request of the United States, was speaking to media on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

Huawei, the world’s biggest producer of telecommunications equipment, faces intense scrutiny in the West over its relationship with China’s government and U.S.-led allegations that its devices could be used by Beijing for espionage.

Huawei has repeatedly rejected such allegations.

Former CFO Meng Wanzhou, who is also the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested in Canada on Dec. 1 over alleged violations of U.S. sanctions. She was released on bail last month and is due in court in Vancouver on Feb. 6.

“We operate our business globally, and in every country we fully comply with local laws and regulation,” Liang said, adding the company welcomed requests to see the tech giant’s product development business as well as other units.

Relations between China and Canada turned frosty after the arrest of Meng, with China detaining two Canadian citizens and sentencing to death a Canadian previously found guilty of drug smuggling.
