Singapore Telecommunications says it has signed a deal with China Telecom to provide telecommunications services to and from China.

The two operators will target multinationals and business users who have operations in China.

These users will be offered a range of services that will allow them to communicate with their offices in the rest of the world, including major financial centres like London, New York and Tokyo, SingTel said.

Services, expected to be available from October, will include Internet-based networks, technical support and single billing.

No financial details were given.
