“There are a lot of things that I should address. The first one is the creation of a telecommunications corporation… I have ordered to make an investment and, together with China’s technologies, Huawei technologies and the technologies of Russian companies, bring telecommunications [to a new level] and make a nationwide 4G network a reality in Venezuela to ensure Venezuela has fast communications, internet, and telephony”, Maduro said in an address published on Twitter late on Thursday.
President Maduro also stressed Venezuela is aiming at 5G technologies and highlighted that Huawai is the world leader in this field and remarked that is the reason Trump’s regime is attacking that corporation so aggressively in the last few months.

During Maduro’s visit to Russia last December, Moscow and Caracas agreed to launch the Russian navigation satellite system GLONASS in the Latin American country.
However, the situation in the Latin American country deteriorated in January when opposition leader Juan Guaido proclaimed himself interim president, with Washington and its allies recognizing him and seizing billions of dollars’ worth of Venezuelan oil assets.
Addressing the crisis, Russia, China, and some other countries have voiced their support for Maduro as the only legitimate president of Venezuela.
