Cisco Encourages Global Public and Private Sector to Join in Rebuilding Efforts

Hong Kong, July 2, 2008 - Cisco today announced a US $45 million (RMB 300M) three-year commitment to support reconstruction efforts in China’s Sichuan Province, which was hit on May 12th by one of the most devastating earthquakes in China’s history.  Cisco made this commitment today during the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) overseen by Sichuan Governor Jiang Jufeng and Cisco Chairman and CEO John Chambers.   

In addition to employee engagement in relief efforts during the earthquake’s immediate aftermath, a Cisco team has been in China for several weeks meeting with national, provincial and local officials to better understand the situation and learn how Cisco can best offer long-term rebuilding assistance.  This week, Chambers and other U.S. private and public sector leaders are in China as members of a U.S. Business Roundtable fact-finding delegation under the auspices of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Chinese Government.
