Hong Kong and the Republic of Kazakhstan have signed an air-services agreement to strengthen the cultural, trade and economic ties between the two places. This is Hong Kong's 58th air-services pact with foreign aviation partners.
Secretary for Economic Development & Labour Stephen Ip and Kazakhstan's Minister of Transport & Communication Serik Akhmetov today signed the agreement.
Kazakhstan, located between Asia and Europe, is Hong Kong's first aviation partner in the Central Asia region.
Mr Ip said the agreement provides a legal framework for the establishment of air links between Hong Kong and Kazakhstan.
"To enhance Hong Kong's position as an international and regional aviation centre, we will continue to expand our air-services network in line with our progressive liberalisation policy," Mr Ip added.
