Chinese telecom equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co Ltd said it is deeply committed to the European market, especially in the United Kingdom, since the country provides a superb investment environment.

Huawei will sink $200 million into a new research and development center in the UK. In addition, the company is working closely with BT Group, a British telecom service group, to expand a national broadband network that currently covers 15 million UK households, Huawei said in a statement on Thursday.

Victor Zhang, chief executive officer of Huawei UK, said the country is home to an outstanding pool of talent and a hub for world-class business services.
