TOKYO (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foxconn said on Wednesday it will not sell Sharp Corp's (T:6753) solar power business, amid concerns from business partners over a possible closure of the struggling division.

"We want to let you know that we are totally committed to this business," Foxconn founder Terry Gou and Tai Jeng-wu, its vice chairman and the newly-appointed CEO at Sharp, said in a letter addressed to Sharp's solar power business partners.
