MANAMA: stc Bahrain has signed a partnership deal with China Telecom Global (CTG) to augment fast-growing economies in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region.

Under this new arrangement, stc Bahrain’s customers in the region – particularly those looking to expand in Asia Pacific – will have an opportunity to enjoy more convenient and reliable connections that support their business growth.

The Mena market will boost CTG’s network support to its customers and empower Chinese companies to further explore global markets and actively embrace the digital economy.

“Through this partnership, China Telecom is able to extend its services to its clients in the Middle East while utilising stc Bahrain’s reliable and robust infrastructure,” said stc Bahrain chief executive Nezar Banabeela.

“We are also delighted to consolidate our presence in Asia Pacific and are looking forward to a long-term partnership with China Telecom.”

China Telecom Africa and Middle East managing director Changhai Liu said: “We look forward to this long-term partnership with stc Bahrain and hope to unlock potential and create new value for our users.”

Evident through stc Bahrain’s self-healing national backhaul network and border-crossing terrestrial fibre cables, the Middle East is at a significant growth stage where the region is increasingly considered a connectivity hub, and the future of peering.

The agreement allows stc Bahrain and CTG to expand their service coverage to maintain a consistently high level of services and improved accessibility in the key gateway between the East and the West.

This partnership also comes at a time where stc Bahrain has been actively establishing a strong reputation in the wholesale industry, enabling it to own one of the largest wholesale market shares while promoting Bahrain as the GCC ICT hub.
