The Kyrgyz Republic, as one of the earliest countries to support and engage in the Belt and Road Initiative, has seen increasingly close economic and trade relations with China. Recently, TF International signed a memorandum of understanding with the Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance, becoming the first Hong Kong-based Chinese securities firm to establish an official partnership with the Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance. The two parties work together to promote the RMB internationalization, support the real economy, facilitate high-quality development, and reinforce Hong Kong’s position as an international financial center.

The event featured distinguished guests, including Mr. Amanbaev Umutzhan Mominovich, Deputy Minister of Finance of Kyrgyz Republic, Mr. Abdybapov Abdanbek Abdybapovich, Head of the Government Borrowing Department of Kyrgyz Republic, Mr. CHAN Ho Lim, Joseph, JP, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong S.A.R., and Mr. ZOU Chuan, CEO of TF International, as well as Mr. Andy Siow, Senior Coverage Banker, DCM, at China CITIC Bank International. They shared insights into Kyrgyzstan’s development opportunities and investment prospects in the international financial market, discussing investment opportunities and key focus areas for mutually beneficial cooperation.

In his opening speech, Mr. CHAN Ho Lim, Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of Hong Kong, remarked, "Hong Kong has firmly established itself as Asia’s leading international financial centre. Our core strengths include free flow of capital and information, a robust common law system, and a simple and low tax regime, and Hong Kong enjoys preferential access to Mainland China. All these position Hong Kong as the super-connector between China and international markets, which plays a key role in promoting RMB internationalization and advancing the Belt and Road Initiative. The Kyrgyz Republic is an important partner under the Belt and Road Initiative and is certainly Hong Kong’s important trading partner in Central Asia.” He also stated that, “I would like to express my gratitude to the Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance and TF International and appreciate your commitment to fostering stronger ties between Central Asia and Hong Kong. We look forward to exploring potential future collaborations with the Kyrgyz Republic that will benefit our respective markets and promote partnerships among Belt and Road nations.”
