Prague: Security officials from 30 countries have hammered out a common approach to wireless network safety, responding to concerns over equipment made by Chinese company Huawei Technologies.

The non-binding proposal warns governments against relying on suppliers of fifth-generation networks that could be susceptible to state influence or based in countries that haven't signed international agreements on cyber security and data protection.

"The customer - whether the government, operator, or manufacturer - must be able to be informed about the origin and pedigree of components and software that affect the security level of the product or service," read the Prague Proposal document handed out at the end of the conference in the Czech capital.

Representatives from 30 European Union, NATO and countries such as Australia, the United States, Germany, Japan and South Korea attended the meeting to hash out an outline of practices that could form a coordinated approach to shared security and policy measures.
