China Mobile to build cross-border optical fiber cables with neighbors

China Mobile Communications Corp, the world's biggest telecom carrier by subscribers, said on Monday it aims to build a globally connected telecom infrastructure system, as it scrambles to promote regional connectivity and offer better services for economies along the routes of the Belt and Road Initiative.

The State-owned company announced on Monday that it will step up efforts to build key cross-border optical fiber cable projects to link China with neighboring countries, including Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan and Kyrgyzstan.
