Meng, who was detained in Canada in 2018 at the behest of US authorities, has been fighting a legal battle over the last two years as the United States seeks to extradite her over allegations of bank fraud and violations of sanctions against Iran.

The daughter of billionaire Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, Meng insists she is innocent and is fighting extradition

The US accuses Huawei of using a Hong Kong shell company called Skycom to sell equipment to Iran in violation of sanctions.

It says Meng committed fraud by misleading HSBC about the company's business dealings in Iran.

An earlier request by Meng's legal team for documents from HSBC was rejected by a court in Britain.

In a court hearing on Monday, Hong Kong High Court judge Linda Chan approved the document-sharing agreement between Huawei and HSBC.

"An agreement has been reached with HSBC in relation to the Hong Kong legal proceedings for document production and an order has been approved by the court," Huawei said in a statement on Monday.

It is not clear which documents Huawei has obtained, or what the scope of the agreement covers.

Meng's team have sought internal compliance documents pertaining to Huawei and Skycom.

During extradition proceedings in Canada, Meng's lawyers have argued that the US has no jurisdiction to bring the case.

Final hearings are expected to conclude in May in Vancouver, although appeals could prolong the process.
