    He said the visit had been successful, yielding achievements in eight areas, including:

    • Establishing high-level contacts and ties between the HKSAR Government and the Governments of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and reaching consensus on co-operation in multiple areas;
    • A total of 96 co-operation agreements and memoranda of understanding (MoUs) were reached during the visit (61 with Kazakhstan, 35 with Uzbekistan), involving specific amounts exceeding US$1.65 billion in total;
    • The governments agreed to commence bilateral discussions on agreements in various areas;
    • Deepening project matching and research collaboration between Hong Kong and Central Asian region in areas including finance, innovation and technology (I&T), and aviation;
    • Demonstrating Hong Kong’s effective role as a platform for going global and achieving substantial results, with Hong Kong and Mainland enterprises joining forces in tapping new markets and bringing synergistic advantages into full play;
    • Facilitating more convenient people-to-people exchanges by promoting direct flights, aviation and transport co-operation, and extensions to the mutual visa-free period;
    • Promoting exchanges in education, talent and culture to further deepen people-to-people bonds; and
    • Advancing a hub-to-hub co-operation model to open up broader room for co-operation between Hong Kong and the Central Asian region.

    While in Tashkent (June 3-5), Mr Lee met with local leaders, government officials and business representatives to deepen co-operation between Hong Kong and Uzbekistan in areas including trade, investment, finance, I&T, and people-to-people exchanges.

    Mr Lee held meetings with the President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Miromonovich Mirziyoyev, his Advisor on Strategic Development, Sardor Umurzakov, the Prime Minister, Abdulla Nigmatovich Aripov, as well as the Deputy Prime Minister, Jamshid Khodjayev, to exchange views on furthering mutual co-operation.

    Mr Lee highlighted that under the “one country, two systems” principle, Hong Kong enjoys both the China advantage and the global advantage. He said that Hong Kong would continue to play its roles as a “super connector” and a “super value-adder” to further deepen co-operation and exchanges with Uzbekistan on various fronts in line with Uzbekistan’s goal of achieving high-quality development.

    Earlier (June 3), Mr Lee met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan, Bakhtiyor Saidov, after which they jointly witnessed an exchange of notes between the two places on a mutual visa-free arrangement, which would allow a visa-free period of 30 days for visitors from both sides.

    “Moreover, we are glad to have initialed the Air Services Agreement with Uzbekistan, and look forward to launching direct passenger flights between the two places soon,” Mr Lee said, during a high-level business dinner (June 4). The Chief Executive pointed out that Hong Kong and Uzbekistan are important trade and investment gateways to their respective regions – the Asia-Pacific and Central Asia.

    “It helps that we are all believers in the Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative, a modern expression of the ancient Silk Road spirit,” Mr Lee said. “Today, China is Uzbekistan’s largest trading partner, and the two countries work closely on major infrastructure and connectivity projects that are revitalising the Silk Road. Hong Kong is a pivotal player in the B&R Initiative, thanks to our world-class professional and financial services expertise.”

    The delegation also toured the IT Park Uzbekistan and the Center for Islamic Civilization before concluding its visit in Tashkent.

Headlined by the new Rentapasada program, VinFast’s participation demonstrates how this connected ecosystem can make EV adoption more accessible and practical for Filipino consumers while supporting the country’s transition to a greener future.

    VinFast made its first appearance at the 2026 Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS), showcasing its comprehensive EV ecosystem, including electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, green mobility services, and flexible ownership solutions.

    Taking place from June 4 to 7 in Metro Manila, the biennial PIMS is one of the Philippines’ leading automotive exhibitions, bringing together major local and international automotive brands to showcase new products, technologies, and mobility solutions. This year’s edition features around 150 vehicles, approximately half of which are electrified models, reflecting the industry’s accelerating shift toward sustainable mobility.

    At PIMS 2026, the show’s 10th edition since its launch in 2006, VinFast will bring its integrated EV ecosystem to life through a 240-sqm exhibition space. Visitors can explore the Company’s growing portfolio of electric vehicles, including the VF 3, VF 6, VF 7, and VF 9, alongside the service-focused Herio Green and Limo Green models, while also discovering V-Green’s smart charging solutions and Green GSM’s transportation services.

    At the center of VinFast’s showcase is the launch of Rentapasada program, which enables participants to access VinFast electric vehicles through flexible rental arrangements and start earning on the Green GSM platform with a low upfront deposit, long-term contracts, and competitive fixed daily rates starting from just PHP 1,000.

By showcasing our complete ecosystem—from our EV lineup and charging infrastructure to flexible mobility programs and after-sales support—we demonstrated our capability and strength in making electric mobility more practical and accessible for Filipino consumers.”

    As the Philippine EV market continues to develop, VinFast remains committed to building a comprehensive ecosystem that supports consumers throughout every stage of the ownership journey while helping accelerate the country’s transition toward sustainable mobility.

  • China’s Hainan Creates “Dual-Loop” Paradise for Self-Driving Tours: Facilitated Services Unlock New Cultural Tourism Experiences

    China’s Hainan Creates “Dual-Loop” Paradise for Self-Driving Tours: Facilitated Services Unlock New Cultural Tourism Experiences

    HAIKOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 June 2026 – On June 5, at the just-concluded Overseas Tour Operators Hainan Tour 2026, many international tour operators showed great interest in Hainan’s two coastal scenic highways, hoping to promote this self-driving corridor, which features both coastal and mountain scenery as well as cultural charm, to more overseas tourists.

    In China’s Hainan Free Trade Port, two world-class tourist highways are redefining the self-driving travel experience. The 988-km Hainan Coastal Scenic Highway and the 466-km Tropical Rainforest National Park Tourist Highway form a “mountain-sea dual loop” system, connecting coconut-fringed coastlines with lush rainforest retreats. Coupled with facilitation policies such as temporary driver’s permits for overseas visitors, Hainan is emerging as a premier destination for road trip enthusiasts from around the globe.

    As a landmark project of the Hainan Free Trade Port, the Coastal Scenic Highway runs through 12 coastal cities and counties, linking 84 distinctive landscape sections and 68 bays into a brilliant “pearl necklace.” Along the windmill coast of the Mulan Bay in Wenchang, white wind turbines contrast beautifully with the azure sea. On the cliffside section of Shanqin Bay in Wanning, visitors can overlook the turquoise waters and rugged rocks. At the volcanic coast of Eman in Danzhou, black reefs and silver sands create a unique natural landscape. The highway is also equipped with 50 viewing platforms, 35 new energy charging stations, and four themed service areas, offering travelers resting, dining, and cultural experiences along the way.

    Complementing the coastal route, the Tropical Rainforest National Park Tourist Highway winds through central and southern Hainan, passing through nine cities and counties and linking core tropical rainforest areas such as Wuzhishan, Limu Mountain, and Jianfeng Ridge. This “green ribbon” is enveloped in lush vegetation and rich ecotourism resources. Along the way, visitors can immerse themselves in ethnic traditions, such as Li brocade, Li pottery, and bamboo dance, and savor local specialties such as bamboo rice, large-leaf rainforest tea, and coffee. The route offers a captivating blend of pristine natural landscapes and vibrant ethnic culture, delivering a self-driving experience entirely different from the coastal tour.

    To facilitate in-depth exploration by inbound travelers, Hainan has introduced a streamlined policy for temporary driver’s permits. Inbound travelers can apply for a temporary driver’s license at traffic management service centers in 18 cities and counties, or pre-apply online via the Hainan Temporary Entry Driver Management System (http://hnslsjs.cn/), using their passport and home driver’s license (non-Chinese licenses must be accompanied by a translation). The process requires no medical examination and is simple and user-friendly. The permit is valid for three months for short-term visitors and can be extended to one year for long-term stays, covering all self-driving needs across the island. Together with the visa-free entry policy for citizens of 86 countries, inbound travelers can easily “rent a car upon arrival and drive both loops.”

    An official from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television, and Sports of Hainan Province stated that the goal is not only to build scenic driving routes but also to establish an international self-driving service system. A series of facilitation measures—visa-free entry, temporary driver’s permits, multilingual services, and foreign card payment acceptance—are designed to enable inbound travelers to enjoy a “spontaneous and hassle-free” self-driving experience in Hainan.

    Last month, the provincial tourism department announced a partnership with the online travel platform Ctrip to launch a flight voucher program totaling $730,000. Travelers can participate by logging into the “Flights” channel on the Ctrip app main page before August 30 this year and booking designated round-trip flights operated by specific airlines from non-mainland cities directly to Hainan’s two major cities, Haikou and Sanya.

    Since the Hainan Free Trade Port initiated its special customs operations on December 18 last year, the province has witnessed explosive growth in inbound tourism. From January to May this year, Hainan received over 848,000 inbound visitors, a year-on-year increase of 51.6%.

    针对近年痛症治疗市场过度营销的歪风乱象,慧理康健坚守持牌机构的职业操守,杜绝”捆绑式营销”或”强买强卖”,强调透明灵活的收费原则,确保患者根据实际康复进度自主决定治疗方案,彻底摆脱预缴套餐的束缚。这种”非套餐化”的经营模式,旨在让专业回归治疗本身,建立信任,夯实口碑。

    延长营业时间,填补公立医院缺口

    慧理康健创办人林冠霆先生(曾任职于本港公立医院)指出,公立医院因资源有限,多须按病患的严重程度进行排序分流,一些轻症患者比如弹弓指、肩周炎或轻微拗伤往往需要等候良久,且覆诊时间难以配合上班族的日程安排。

    为此,慧理康健特别调整服务时间,提供夜晚6点至10点的预约时段,无需额外收费,周末也照常开放。每节治疗时间长达45分钟,确保治疗师与患者有充足的时间进行详细的人体工学评估及分析检查,避免错过黄金治疗期。中心先进的冲击波及高能量电磁波等治疗技术,通过非侵入性手段高频、高效地触达深层肌肉组织,使原本需时数月的康复进程缩短至数周,显著缩短治疗时间,节约成本。

    精准康复理疗手段帮助患者重掌生活节奏

    慧理康健创办人林冠霆先生表示:私家物理治疗师是基层医疗体系中不可或缺的’健康守门人’。在帮助患者免除繁琐转介手续的同时,我们引进了冲击波及高能量电磁波等先进治疗科技,配合现代针灸技术,其核心意义在于精准介入,从根源上终结痛症循环。康复理疗不应该是被动等待症状缓解,而是一场主动投入的健康理念与生活方式重塑之旅。我们的目标是让每一位走进慧理的患者都能重新掌控自己的生活节奏,摆脱痛症烦忧,在运动场与职场中,重拾久违的自由与愉悦。”

    *注:患者须密切留意现行的转介安排规定。

    China’s Hainan Unveils Top 10 Calling Cards for International Tour Operators

    HAIKOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 June 2026 – The Overseas Tour Operators Hainan Tour 2026 recently kicked off in Haikou, Hainan Province. During the event, Hainan unveiled its “Top 10 Calling Cards” to more than 300 representatives of international tour operators, showcasing the province’s unique cultural tourism appeal and its new landscape of opening-up and development.

    The “Night of Hainan” Tourism Reception Event served as a centerpiece of the Overseas Tour Operators Hainan Tour 2026. Featuring immersive presentations, intangible cultural heritage song and dance performances, interactive experiences, and other diverse formats, the event offered a comprehensive showcase of Hainan’s rich and varied tourism resources. The lively and warm atmosphere was widely recognized and appreciated by Chinese and international guests in attendance.

    During the event, Hainan unveiled its “Top 10 Calling Cards” to international tour operators, detailing the province’s core tourism advantages: the beautiful scenery and warm climate of this tropical island, a world-class ecological environment, highly favorable visa-free policies, profound historical and cultural heritage, world-renowned medical and wellness services, a globally famous shopping paradise, unique marine and sports tourism, imaginative space tourism, the dual-loop tourist highways linking mountains and sea, as well as a safe, high-value, and cost-effective travel experience.

    A representative from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television, and Sports of Hainan Province stated that, as China’s only tropical island province, Hainan looks forward to partnering with international tour operators to serve as a gateway for international visitors, enabling “one-journey, multiple-destination” tours across China with Hainan as the hub.

    Lina, a Belarusian international student and Hainan’s international tourism promoter, along with Yann, a Slovakian social media influencer, presented six themed travel routes covering the entire island of Hainan, featuring specialty offerings such as space study tours, coastal vacations, sports and wellness retreats, rainforest exploration, cultural leisure experiences, and mountain adventures.

    Leveraging the policy dividends from the launch of special customs operations at the Hainan Free Trade Port, combined with multiple advantages such as visa-free access, open air rights, and offshore duty-free shopping, Hainan’s inbound tourism market has seen significant growth. According to official data, from January to May this year, Hainan received over 848,000 inbound visitors, a year-on-year increase of 51.6%. Currently, Hainan has established 46 tourism promotion offices worldwide, building a global promotion and cooperation network covering core source markets in Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

    “Hainan’s tourism resources are incredibly rich. It offers both international coastal resort facilities and unique rainforest culture, as well as the charm of Li and Miao ethnic traditions. It is exactly the kind of destination European tourists long for,” Gian Paolo Vairo, an Italian tour operator, said excitedly after negotiations. He noted that he has reached preliminary cooperation intentions with several Hainan companies and plans to quickly design and launch in-depth Hainan travel itineraries tailored to European tourists.

    The attending international tour operators spoke highly of Hainan’s policy advantages, diverse tourism offerings, and continuously improving service quality, expressing their intention to develop and launch new Hainan tourism products. In the coming days, the attending guests will conduct in-depth field inspections across multiple cities and counties in Hainan, continuing to deepen cultural and tourism cooperation and jointly exploring Hainan’s international tourism market.

  • For You Rehab Responds to Primary Healthcare Blueprint and Champions “Direct Access” Physiotherapy to Alleviate Public Healthcare Strain

    For You Rehab Responds to Primary Healthcare Blueprint and Champions “Direct Access” Physiotherapy to Alleviate Public Healthcare Strain

    Founder Reveals Youthful Trend in Pain Conditions; Improving Service Efficiency through Precision Diagnostics and Integrity-Driven Rehabilitation

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 June 2026 – As the Hong Kong Government promotes the implementation of the Primary Healthcare Blueprint, the community rehabilitation market is undergoing a critical transformation. Under the Supplementary Medical Professions (Amendment) Bill 2025[1], Hong Kong has officially launched the “Direct Access” mechanism for physiotherapy. Citizens can now schedule appointments directly with registered physiotherapists without a doctor’s referral letter, provided their health conditions are covered by recognised clinical protocols, or they possess a diagnosis certificate issued by a registered doctor or CMP within the past 12 months. This initiative significantly improves medical efficiency and offers the public timely access to professional intervention.

    For You Rehab, a leading innovator in Hong Kong’s physiotherapy sector, is actively responding to these policy reforms. Addressing pain points such as rising fees, long wait times, and limited treatment sessions in public hospitals, For You Rehab aims to play a complementary role within the public healthcare system. By offering efficient, transparent, and professional community medical options, the centre optimises resource allocation and diverts community rehabilitation needs to fill existing service gaps in public healthcare.

    The Youthful Trend of Workplace Pain: Shifting from “Pain Relief” to “Functional Optimisation”

    Research indicates that nearly 30% of Hong Kong’s population suffers from chronic pain, with a notable trend toward younger demographics. Workplace-related pain not only impairs individual health but also leads to “Absenteeism” and “Presenteeism,” resulting in significant economic losses for enterprises that go unnoticed. Furthermore, with the rising popularity of high-intensity competitive sports such as HYROX, Pickleball, and marathons, public awareness of pain management has evolved from simple “pain relief” to “Sports Performance Optimisation”.

    In an environment of information overload and over-commercialisation, For You Rehab advocates for a return to “results-based” medical care. Their team of senior physical and sports therapists conducts deep structural, postural, and biomechanical examinations. For You Rehab believes that professional rehabilitation should be a precise, evidence-based intervention rather than passive marketing. By analysing gait and muscle balance to identify the root cause of pain, they help athletes break through plateaus and alleviate workplace strain for urban professionals.

    Integrity-Driven Healthcare: Rejecting “Package-Based” Hard Selling

    In response to the excessive marketing and chaotic sales tactics in the pain treatment market, For You Rehab adheres to a strict code of professional conduct. The centre prohibits “bundled marketing” or aggressive “Hard Selling,” instead emphasising transparent and flexible pricing. This ensures that patients can autonomously decide on treatment plans based on their actual recovery progress, free from the constraints of prepaid packages. This “non-package” business model aims to return professionalism to the treatment itself and build a reputation based on trust.

    Extended Service Hours to Fill Public System Gaps

    Mr. Lam, the founder of For You Rehab and a former professional in the local public hospital system, noted that due to limited resources, public hospitals must prioritise patients based on severity. Consequently, patients with mild conditions such as Trigger Finger, Frozen Shoulder, or minor sprains often face long wait times, and follow-up schedules are often difficult to reconcile with a professional’s working hours.

    To address this, For You Rehab has specifically adjusted its service hours to include appointment slots from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM at no extra cost and remains open on weekends. Each 45-minute treatment session ensures ample time for detailed ergonomic assessments. The centre utilises advanced technologies, such as Shockwave Therapy and High-Energy Electromagnetic Wave Therapy, to reach deep muscle tissues non-invasively. These high-frequency, high-efficiency treatments can shorten a rehabilitation process that typically takes months to mere weeks, saving costs.

    Precision Rehabilitation Empowers Patients to Regain Control

    “Private physiotherapists are indispensable ‘health gatekeepers’ in the primary healthcare system,” stated Mr. Mannix Lam, Founder of For You Rehab. “While simplifying the referral process for patients, we introduce advanced medical technologies and modern acupuncture techniques, our core focus is to provide precision intervention that ends the cycle of pain at its source. Rehabilitation is not a passive wait for symptoms to subside; it is an active journey of reshaping health concepts and lifestyles. Our goal is to enable every patient to regain their rhythm and enjoy the freedom of movement in both the sports arena and the workplace.”

    *Note: Patients must pay close attention to current referral arrangement regulations.

    物理治療「免轉介」新制開啟醫療新章:慧理康健響應基層醫療藍圖,解決公院輪候痛點

    創辦人揭示痛症患者年輕化趨勢,冀透過精準檢查與誠信服務提升效率

    香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年6月5日 – 隨著香港政府近年推廣落實《基層醫療健康藍圖》,社區復康市場正迎來關鍵轉型。根據《2025年輔助醫療業(修訂)條例》[1],香港已正式推行物理治療「免轉介直接求診」(Direct Access)機制,市民在具備認可臨床指引或12個月內曾獲註冊醫生出具診斷證明(如門診、覆診或出院記錄)的情況下,無須醫生轉介信即可直接預約註冊物理治療師。此舉不僅大幅提升醫療效率,更為市民提供了更為廣泛及時的專業介入渠道。

    慧理康健(For You Rehab作為香港物理治療創新機構,積極響應政策改革。針對公立醫院物理治療收費調升、輪候時間過長且治療時間受限等痛點,致力發揮與公營系統的協同互補作用,提供高效、透明且專業的社區醫療服務選擇,通過優化資源配置,分流社區復康需求,有效填補公營醫療體系的服務缺口。

    職場痛症年輕化:從「緩解痛楚」轉向「功能優化」

    研究顯示,全港有近三成人口受慢性痛症困擾,且近年來呈現年輕化態勢。其中,職場痛症不僅損害個人健康,更會導致員工「缺勤」或「帶病工作」(Absenteeism & Presenteeism),對企業生產力造成的隱形經濟損失不容小覷。隨着HYROX(高強度功能性室內健身競賽)、匹克球(Pickleball)、馬拉松等新興運動項目及高強度競技體育賽事盛行,大眾對物理治療,尤其是運動創傷復康等痛症管理項目的認知,已從單純「止痛」全面提升至「運動表現優化」(Sports Performance)。

    在資訊爆炸與過度商業化的市場環境下,慧理康健提倡回歸「以療效為本」的醫療宗旨,由資深物理治療師與運動治療師團隊為患者進行深層結構、姿勢及生物力學檢查。慧理康健堅信專業復康不應是被動的服務營銷,而是基於臨床實證的精準介入,主張透過精準分析個人步態與肌肉發力平衡,從根源找出痛症成因,協助運動愛好者突破瓶頸,緩解都市上班族的職場損耗。

    誠信醫療,拒絕「套餐化」硬銷

    針對近年痛症治療市場過度營銷之歪風亂象,慧理康健堅守持牌機構的職業操守,杜絕「綑綁式營銷」或「Hard Sell」硬性推廣,強調透明、靈活的收費原則,確保患者根據實際康復進度自主決定治療方案,徹底擺脫預繳套餐的束縛。這種「非套餐化」的經營模式,旨在讓專業回歸治療本身,建立信任,鞏固口碑。

    延長營業時間,填補公院缺口

    慧理康健創辦人林冠霆先生(曾任職於本港公立醫院)指出,公立醫院因資源有限,多須按病患的嚴重程度進行排序分流,輕症如彈弓指、肩周炎或輕微拗傷往往需要等候良久,且覆診時間難以配合上班族的日程安排。

    為此,慧理康健特別調整服務時間,提供夜晚6點至10點的預約時段,無需額外收費,週末亦照常開放。每節治療時間長達45分鐘,確保治療師與患者有充足時間進行詳細的人體工學評估及分析檢查,避免錯過黃金治療期。中心先進的衝擊波及高能量電磁波等治療技術,通過非侵入性手段高頻、高效地觸達深層肌肉組織,使原本需時數月的康復進程縮短至數周,顯著縮短治療時間,節約成本。

    精準復康手段助力患者重掌生活節奏

    慧理康健創辦人林冠霆先生表示:「私家物理治療師是基層醫療體系中不可或缺的『健康守門人』。在幫助患者免除轉介繁瑣的同時,我們引進了衝擊波及高能量電磁波等先進治療科技,配合現代針灸技術,其核心意義在於精準介入,從根源上終結痛症循環。復康不應是被動等待症狀緩解,而是一場主動投入的健康理念與生活方式重塑之旅。我們的目標是讓每一位走進慧理的患者都能重新掌控自己的生活節奏,擺脫痛症煩憂,在運動場與職場中,重拾久違的自由與愉悅。」
