Huawei Exceeds ITU Partner2Connect Pledge Target, Bringing Connectivity to 170 Million People Globally

BARCELONA, Spain, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Huawei has provided digital connectivity to 170 million people in remote areas across more than 80 countries, surpassing its pledge to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Partner2Connect (P2C) Digital Coalition.

The announcement was made by Yang Chaobin, CEO of Huawei ICT BG, at the company's TECH Cares Forum in Barcelona. He noted that this achievement exceeds the commitment Huawei made when joining the ITU P2C Digital Coalition in 2022: to connect 120 million people in remote areas by 2025. Yang extended his gratitude to Huawei's telecom customers and partners for their collaborative efforts.

The forum brought together around 80 guests from governments, industries, partner organizations, and international bodies. Participants engaged in in-depth discussions on the urgent need to advance digital inclusion in the AI era, exploring practical solutions and building consensus for multi-stakeholder collaboration.

In his opening speech, Yang pointed out that despite rapid AI advancements, the digital divide persists and risks widening further. "High-speed digital networks and robust computing capabilities are essential foundations for an inclusive and sustainable AI era," he said. The fulfillment of the ITU P2C pledge, he added, reflects Huawei's ongoing commitment to innovation — bringing remote communities improved access to healthcare, education, and financial services through digital connectivity.

Cosmas Zavazava, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Development Bureau, commended Huawei's achievements and work to bridge the digital divide. "Connecting the rural and underserved communities requires innovative business models, inclusivity and the effective use of communication resources as well as community engagement, and sustained investment in local capacity. I applaud Huawei's commitment to universal and meaningful connectivity and I am proud of our strong and successful partnership."

According to Jeff Wang, President of Huawei Public Affairs and Communications, digital inclusion rests on two pillars: inclusive connectivity and digital skills empowerment. To address the digital skills gap, Huawei partners with governments and organizations to support students, youth, the elderly, and women through three initiatives: expanding digital access, offering digital skills training, and developing STEM curricula.

Since its launch in 2019, Huawei's Skills on Wheels program has brought mobile digital training to over 130,000 people in 21 countries, opening new opportunities for underserved communities.

Marina Madale, Executive of Sustainability and Shared Value at MTN Group, asserts that connectivity is not a privilege, it is foundational infrastructure for Africa's growth. In alignment with Jeff Wang, she noted that MTN is prioritizing expanding rural connectivity, driving device affordability and building digital and AI-ready skills.

In rural network innovation, Huawei has continuously upgraded its Rural Series solutions since 2017 to improve affordability and deployment efficiency. Launched in November 2025, Huawei RuralCow extends coverage to villages of around 1,500 residents with the support from MTN Nigeria. These solutions have helped achieve the target of connecting 170 million people while boosting local economies and enabling wider access to digital public services.

During the forum, guests shared progress from their collaboration with Huawei and expressed willingness to deepen cooperation. All participants agreed that advancing digital inclusion in the AI era requires joint efforts from governments, operators, international organizations, and enterprises.

Going forward, Huawei will continue to drive innovation in rural network technologies, deepen open collaboration, and accelerate digital skills empowerment. Through concrete actions, the company will keep contributing to a more equitable and sustainable digital world.

NEW YORK, March 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring isn't just a season—it's a chance to hit the reset button on your home and your life. After months of winter, dust and clutter often settle into every corner, from hidden nooks to worn fixtures. This season, refreshing your space isn't just a clean-up—it's a deep breath for your home and your mind, a chance to bring energy, clarity, and inspiration back into your everyday life.

VEVOR's Spring campaign is built for doers. For the first time, professional-grade performance is no longer reserved for professionals—VEVOR makes it accessible to every Home Creator, at a price that doesn't hold you back. Whether you're refreshing your entire home, breathing new life into your garden, or upgrading your garage, our solutions are designed to spark your creativity and make every home improvement project feel effortless, satisfying, and fun.

Every Detail Matters: Bring Precision into Your Home

A fresh coat of paint, a neatly installed pipe—small changes can completely transform a room. But real quality shows up in the details you don't notice: leak-proof connections, securely fastened fittings, and flawlessly smooth finishes. This spring, bring pro-level precision into your home and let every project elevate both your space and your confidence.

And all of this can be effortlessly achieved with VEVOR's professional tools:

  • VEVOR Airless Paint Sprayer: Spray walls, fences, and decks up to 12 times faster than a brush, with smooth, flawless coverage every time. Its precise nozzles and anti-clog design keep your projects clean, fast, and satisfying.

  • VEVOR Electric Pipe Crimper: Install or repair pipes in seconds, even in tight or awkward spots. With a 360° rotating jaw and a clear display, every crimp feels precise and professional—without the stress.

For many first-time renovators, the biggest surprise isn't just the speed—it's how controlled the process feels from start to finish.

 "I thought repainting the guest room would take all weekend. Finished the walls in a few hours and didn't have to go back over uneven spots. It actually looks professionally done."

Breathe Life Back into Your Garden

Your garden should be your sanctuary—but winter's leaves, dust, and debris can steal the calm. With the right tools, cleaning becomes effortless, like giving your yard a deep, refreshing breath. Watch your outdoor space come alive, and feel the freedom and joy of a garden finally under control.

Here are the tools that make that fresh start feel effortless:

  • VEVOR Push Lawn Sweeper: Four reinforced brushes gently lift and sweep leaves and grass in a single pass, collecting debris without stressing or damaging healthy turf. Adjustable heights tackle any terrain, and the large 7 cu. ft. bag means fewer stops and faster results—turning yard work into a breeze.

  • VEVOR Walk-Behind Floor Sweeper: Cover wide paths in a single pass—five times faster than a broom. The 5-gallon container, foldable handle, and smooth maneuvering make cleaning patios, driveways, and garages fast, easy, and even fun.

As one homeowner shared after early-season cleanup,

"Used it after a windy week and it picked up the leaves without tearing up the grass. Way easier on my back than raking."

Garage Makeover: Unlock Your Creative Workshop

Spring cleaning doesn't stop at the front door—your garage needs a reset too. After a long winter of stored gear and vehicles, now's the time to organize tools, check your equipment, and prep your garage so your car and outdoor gear are ready for every spring adventure.

With the right setup, transforming your garage is simpler than you think:

  • VEVOR Mechanics Tool Set: With 450 pieces covering SAE and metric sizes, this all-in-one kit has everything you need for home repairs, DIY projects, and vehicle maintenance. From sockets and wrenches to hex keys and bits, each piece is crafted for durability and reliability.
  • VEVOR Retractable Air Hose Reel: 50 feet of flexible, high-pressure hose with smooth auto-retract keeps your workspace clutter-free. Sturdy mounting options turn any garage into a tidy, professional-level workshop.

"The hardest part of fixing anything isn't the fixing—it's getting started. I used to waste time hunting for the right socket and fighting with the air hose before I even touched the repair. Once everything's organized and easy to grab, the whole job just flows."

— Weekend DIYer

Every home, garden, and garage has untapped potential—this spring, it's time to bring it to life. VEVOR's Spring campaign puts professional-grade performance within reach, empowering every Home Creator to achieve impressive results without the hefty price.
