Mongolia hopes to grow its business presence in Hong Kong and tap its experience as a global financial centre and logistics hub, the country’s top envoy in the city has said.
Aside from reviving a dormant business forum in the city next year, Consul General Khulan Onkhoon said she was pushing for dual stock market listings in the two jurisdictions.
Teams of officials had also been visiting Hong Kong over the past year to learn from the city’s experience in logistics, infrastructure and medical services as Mongolia was grappling with problems related to rapid urbanisation.
Khulan, who previously worked in her country’s mining and investment sector, took over as her country’s top envoy in the city in August 2023. She said her first visit to Hong Kong was two decades ago.
