Huawei's Executive Vice President Xu Zhijun and President of the Asia Pacific Division Wang Shengli will meet Indian government officials to negotiate the issue Friday.
Huawei will reshuffle the management of its Indian subsidiary by adding more Indians to its board.
Huawei stressed that its products measure up to network safety and international standard and that the company will be committed to the Indian market.
