Chinese state-owned telecommunication service provider ZTE Corporation says it would set up a US$ 500,000 training facility in Sri Lanka.
ZTE Corporation chairman, Hou Weigui said the facility would be donated to the government of Sri Lanka. He presented a token of this donation to parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa, chairman Tharunyata Hetak, when he visited the island recently.
ZTE said the training facility would provide the latest technological updates and would facilitate around 500 trainees a year under the Tharunyata Hetal programme.
Sri Lanka Telecom would coordinate efforts to set up this training facility and ZTE said it hoped to use the facility, once completed, to train its clients and engineers based in South Asia, paving the way for Sri Lanka to be a training hub in the region.
