During the meeting, the Prime Minster expressed great confidence in the prospects of 3G in Italy and warmly welcomed HWL's investments in H3G, which represents 40% of the foreign direct investments in the country in the 2001-2005 period. The Prime Minister also commented that Italy would always extend an open door to the Group to make further investments besides 3G. In the past decade, HWL's overseas investments have expanded rapidly, encouraged in part by the positive reception of the 40 plus countries where the Group has businesses worldwide. |
