ROME, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- The head of the Italian division of Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei said Friday that Italy was in a position to close its long-standing "digital gap" with other countries in western Europe if it used the money from the European Union's (EU) recovery fund effectively.
Speaking to the daily newspaper La Stampa, President of Huawei Italy Luigi De Vecchis said Italy's 222-billion-euro (270-billion-U.S.-dollar) share of the recovery fund presented "an opportunity to end the digital divide between our country and the rest of Europe."
