Amidst the economic challenge, in addition to contributing back to suffering people in own countries via various CSR activities, members agreed that technologies especially 5G related ones and digital transformation are the key success factors to help people go through such difficult situation. Alliance members are making every effort to exchange and introduce essential technologies in their own markets to benefit customers.
