He encouraged Kazakh enterprises to use Hong Kong for listing, bond issuance and project financing to connect with global investors.

A government statement quoted Lee saying Hong Kong’s services would help Kazakh firms enter the Chinese mainland and Asian markets while enabling Hong Kong and mainland companies to expand into Central Asia.
