The French government confirmed that Chinese vendor Huawei would not be excluded from supplying equipment for local 5G networks, but could be subject to certain restrictions.
“There is no discrimination towards Huawei… No, Huawei will not be excluded from the 5G in France,” Economy and Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told local TV station BFM TV.
However, the official said that the French state will take precautions to protect its sovereign interests, especially close to nuclear and military installations.
