香港の李家超（ジョン・リー）行政長官は貿易代表団を率い、カザフスタンとウズベキスタンへの訪問中に総額16億5000万米ドルを超える96件の協定を締結した。6月6日に終了したこの訪問では、経済、金融、航空、文化面での協力が合意された。また、ウズベキスタンは香港に総領事館を開設することに合意した。
李家超行政長官は、現政権下で最大規模となる貿易代表団を率いて1週間の訪問を行った。代表団は、政治、経済、教育など8つの分野にわたる100件近くの協力協定を締結した。香港政府は両国と15の文書に署名した。計画には、租税条約の締結、二国間投資協定、ウズベキスタンとの認定経済事業者（AEO）の相互承認などが含まれる。香港取引所（HKEX）は、アスタナ・ハブおよびアスタナ国際金融センターと、グリーンファイナンスやクロスボーダー上場に関する協定を締結した。香港航空は来年第1四半期にアルマトイへの直行便を就航させる予定である。代表団の約半数は中国本土からの参加者であった。また、ビザなし滞在期間が30日に延長され、ウズベキスタンとの間では民間航空協定が仮調印された。
X上での初期の反応は、公式アカウントやメディアアカウントを中心に概ね中立から肯定的であり、貿易協定や経済協力、一帯一路との結びつきが強調されている。一部のユーザー投稿では、今回の訪問とウズベキスタンの金準備との関連性を指摘する声も見られた。
