nato countries: Huawei has denied the allegations. ; Officials say they hope to conclude the meeting attended by representatives from 30 European Union, NATO and countries such as the United States, Germany, Japan and Australia with an outline of practices that could form a basis for a coordinated approach to shared security and policy measures, according to The Japan Times. Russia, China and Huawei were not invited, although a number of participants said no single company or country was being singled out. The United States has been seeking to limit the role of Chinese telecom equipment makers such as Huawei Technologies in building 5G networks due to fears they could be used by Beijing for spying. It is an attempt to widen the discussion to a platform that should involve the entire Western civilization, said one diplomatic source, adding that a non-binding summary by the chair to be issued on Friday was expected to provide principles for further discussions. A draft document seen by Reuters showed participants were discussing setting up certain security conditions for vendors that Chinese providers could find difficult to meet. Conclusions from the conference would be informal as some participating countries were not ready to sign any documents in Prague because they had not concluded debates about the issue at home, another diplomatic source said.
