Kazakhstan, Hong Kong strengthen cooperation on investor protection
1st Deputy Prosecutor General of Kazakhstan Zhandos Umiraliyev met with Hong Kong Secretary for Justice Paul Lam and representatives of the city's legal and investment communities to discuss Kazakhstan's mechanisms for protecting investor rights, Qazinform News Agency reports, citing the Prosecutor General's Office.
The meeting was held as part of Collaborate2Win: Hong Kong – Your Partner for Global Success, organized by the Hong Kong Department of Justice in partnership with the Hong Kong Trade Development Council. During the event, Umiraliyev outlined Kazakhstan's legal mechanisms for protecting investor rights and supporting investment projects.
The initiative further strengthened cooperation between Kazakhstan and Hong Kong under the hub-to-hub partnership model, with a particular focus on legal cooperation, including investment protection, alternative dispute resolution and support for investment initiatives.
