Alibaba on Thursday said it expanded its global cloud computing availability, while the head of the unit's international arm touted the company's AI products as a way to fuel growth.
"We want to have ... more efforts and investments for our international data centers," Selina Yuan, President of Alibaba Cloud's international division, told CNBC in an interview on Wednesday.
The push for growth follows a turbulent time for Alibaba Cloud, after the division scrapped a planned initial public offering and underwent a management reshuffle.
Alibaba's cloud division began to expand internationally in 2015 with so-far mixed results.
Amazon , Microsoft and Alphabet -owned Google account for around 67% of global cloud market share, according to Synergy Research Group.
