You can expert the contact as csv or vcard. You can then upload to iCloud.

I will use my Xiaomi phone as example, it is pretty much the same as Huawei.

First, go to your contact app and find settings. Then choose option of import/export contact.

The choose export option. Depends on your phone, sometimes will save a file with extension .vcf or .CVS or .vCard. locate the file that the system generated.

The log into your iCloud. Select contact and choose import contact. Then select the file, you will see contacts added to your Apple ID. Login Apple ID on iPhone and you will see contacts.
