Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,

Good morning.

It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the ZTE Global 5G Summit & User Congress. We are here in Turkiye, a beautiful country that bridges the continents of Europe and Asia. Turkiye has witnessed the evolution and convergence of human civilizations since ancient times with its unique geographical location as a bridge between the East and the West in culture, trade and ideas. This year marks the beginning of the second decade of our global 5G Summit. Over the past ten years, we have collaborated with global customers and partners to accelerate the digital and intelligent transformation of society.

A few weeks ago in Turkiye, we set a new 5G-A record with Turkcell, achieving a peak download speed over 32 Gbps using 5G NR-DC. We've deployed tri-mode 50G PON and FTTR-B with Turk Telecom to build an advanced campus network, eliminating bandwidth bottlenecks in high-concurrency scenarios.

In Kazakhstan, we collaborated with VEON to complete "Giga City", significantly enhancing 4G network throughput through FDD Massive MIMO, enables 5G-like capabilities, helping operators maintain competitiveness in the market.

In Austria, with over a decade of collaboration with Hutchison Drei Austria, our high-performance network has continuously supported the expansion of their FWA business, salient 5G SA FWA services have now achieved significant scale in the market.

In Indonesia with Smartfren, our Native-AI-based RAN Computing has demonstrated the potential of network infrastructure, enhancing user experience by 15%.

In an age of rapid technological advancement, the concept of "Link" takes on a broader meaning:
