Huawei are confident that the UK will use their equipment in the development of the country’s 5G networks.
The UK is currently deciding what role Huawei could play in updating the UK’s telecoms infrastructure.
The United States has warned the UK and its allies against the move, saying the Chinese company poses a security risk.
The US named Huawei as a national security threat back in May around the same time it was revealed the UK was considering giving the firm access to its digital infrastructure.
Speaking on Friday, Huawei’s head of government affairs, Victor Zhang said he expected the UK would make “the right decision” about its 5G future.
"I am confident that the UK will choose Huawei for the future 5G development," he said.
A former US Secretary of Homeland Security warned on Thursday that intelligence sharing between the US and UK could be compromised if London decides to work with Huawei.
Tom Ridge said the close relationship between Huawei and the Chinese government meant that the UK could be letting Beijing through the “front door” of its telecoms system.
“Much of the intelligence sharing is electronic and if you are relying on secure telecoms and they’ve got a front door, well I don’t know how many pigeons can fly across the Atlantic,” he said.
“It will affect intelligence-sharing.”
Mobile companies including EE and Vodafone have already launched 5G in seven cities in the UK but a decision on who will contribute towards the core infrastructure in the country has yet to be made.
The decision is expected to be made by outgoing prime minister Theresa May’s successor, who will face pressure from US President Donald Trump’s administration to restrict the company’s access to its telecoms system.
