Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee attended a roundtable in Hong Kong on June 11
for Kazakhstan's Alatau city and said Kazakhstan is pursuing reforms and
economic diversification to build a forward‑looking smart city. Lee said Hong
Kong can support Alatau in three market‑relevant areas: as a global capital
gateway offering bond issuance, listings and other financing; as a gateway to
mainland China to link local firms with mainland supply chains and expand into
Asian and global markets; and as a talent and technology partner, leveraging
Hong Kong’s universities and innovation clusters to assist industrial upgrading.
