Hong Kong a ‘trusted partner’ to drive Central Asia growth, city leader says

Kazakhstan’s national rail operator KTZ had also filed to list in Hong Kong, while a local family office had signed an agreement with the Central Asian country’s authorities to strengthen cooperation in sustainable energy, he said. The Belt and Road Initiative refers to a plan rolled out by President Xi Jinping in 2013 to grow global trade. “As we look ahead, the promise of Central Asia as a global growth engine is not to be missed. Hong Kong stands ready as your trusted partner, connecting markets, financing sustainable growth and driving seamless cross-boundary trade,” he stressed.
