YANGON, Feb. 29 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar's first Huawei Authorized Information, Network academy (HAINA) was inaugurated in Yangon's Thanlyin University of Science and Technology Monday.
HAINA, mainly guided by Huawei, is to develop human resources with information and communication technology (ICT) of Huawei globally.
On November 11, 2014, science and technology departments of Myanmar and Huawei signed a memorandum of understanding on assisting Myanmar free of charge in development of ICT human resources including establishment of HAINA.
In March 2015, Huawei and Thanlyin University of Science and Technology also signed a contract on donation of the HAINA.
Chinese Ambassador Hong Liang told the press that Huawei, a high-tech Chinese enterprise, is making use of its own superiority in technology to help Myanmar people.
With Myanmar's rapid development of ICT products with shortage of human resources, Huawei advocated measures to resolve the issue through National ICT Human Resources Development Plan, covering middle and high schools in remote mountainous areas.
Huawei had set up 140 HAINAs in over 20 countries globally, benefiting more than 5,000 people in 2015 alone.
