Kenya´s Financial Minister is Using ZTE Mobile Phone
In the afternoon, Senior Vice President-Finance, Mr. Wei Zaisheng talked with Kenya´s senior government officials at ZTE headquarters.
As ZTE is rapidly expanding its sales in the African market, senior government officials from African countries have been visiting ZTE more frequently recently. Last month, His Majesty, H.E, Isaias Afwerki, President of the State of Eritrea, visited ZTE Headquarters in Shenzhen. Other government officers of Eritrea together with over 10 senior officers from Shenzhen Municipal Government accompanied the president during the visit.
Also as No.4 DSL equipment provider in the world, ZTE continues to increase its market share in Africa with products already deployed in more than 14 countries including Egypt, Nigeria, Tunisia, Kenya, Zambia, Algeria, and Ethiopia. In 2004, ZTE beat all other competitor vendors to make the first ever 3G call in Tunisia; ZTE´s GSM products have been used in large-scale applications in Nigeria and Ethiopia; and, also in 2004, ZTE was selected by Egypt Telecom to construct a large-scale CDMA network covering the Nile River Delta.
