The Nomination Committee considered that the candidates of the sixth session of the Board possess extensive experience in multiple areas, including telecommunications industry, technology, finance and accounting, management and legal, etc. Their expertise and knowledge in different areas are strongly complementary to each other and are conducive to the scientific decision making of the Board. At the same time, they also have diverse characteristics in terms of gender, age, cultural and educational background, and length of services, which was in alignment with the Board’s diversity policy, so Nomination Committee recommended nominating these candidates to serve as directors.
