Attracting over 3,000 exhibitors from 95 countries worldwide, the event stands as the largest and most influential professional grand gathering for the photovoltaic and energy storage sectors across Asia and globally.
During the exhibition, Mr. Yiu Wang Lee, Chairman of the Board of Wing Lee Development Construction Holdings Limited (“Wing Lee” or the “Group”, stock code: 9639.HK); Mr. Cai Huihui, General Manager of Wing Kai New Energy Technology Co., Limited (“Wing Kai New Energy”); Mr. Wang Yi, Key Account Manager of QIJI Energy; Mr. Xu Jun, Overseas Energy Storage Commercial Director of Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL); and Mr. You Yuxian, ASEAN Regional Energy Storage Sales Director of CATL, jointly visited the exhibition booth of C&D Hi-Tech. The delegation engaged in in-depth discussions with the team led by General Manager Mr. Zhan Shengli, focusing on battery swapping station projects in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. By integrating multi-party resources, the teams successfully finalized and signed a Strategic Cooperation Agreement.
Through this signing, the three parties will join forces to address and resolve the industry pain points of overseas markets regarding regulatory compliance, engineering infrastructure, and supply chain coordination. The collaboration represents a deep integration of QIJI Energy’s cutting-edge battery swapping solutions, Wing Kai New Energy’s localized infrastructure and operational capabilities across Hong Kong and Shenzhen, and C&D Hi-Tech’s robust global resource allocation strengths. Moving from single-project development to an ecosystem of mutual win-win, this partnership will significantly enhance the delivery efficiency of green energy across Hong Kong, Macau, and the Southeast Asian region, setting a brand-new benchmark for regional zero-carbon smart transportation.
As a subsidiary of Wing Lee, Wing Kai New Energy has been rooted in Hong Kong since its inception while radiating its presence globally, deeply cultivating sustainable clean energy solutions. Addressing the acute pain points in the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asian markets, where rapid fluctuations in energy prices have led to surging cost pressures for logistics distribution enterprises, Wing Kai New Energy will focus on urban distribution logistics battery swapping businesses in the future. The company plans to integrate site resources, infrastructure, and operations to fill the gap in regional infrastructure. We firmly believe that this cooperation will effectively bridge the cross-border green energy eco-link, accelerate the construction of a green energy service network, and contribute solidly to the realization of the “dual carbon” goals. Meanwhile, we sincerely invite more partners to join the Zero-Carbon Smart Alliance to jointly advance sustainable development.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 June 2026 – A large high-level business delegation led by John Lee, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), today (June 5) wrapped up its five-day visit to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan respectively, achieving fruitful results of strengthening bilateral relations and deepening ties with Central Asia.
The delegation of over 70 business and institutional leaders from Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland is the largest and most diverse overseas mission led by the current term of the HKSAR Government so far.
Hong Kong SAR’s Chief Executive, John Lee (fifth right) and the Advisor to the President of Uzbekistan on Strategic Development, Sardor Umurzakov (fourth right) witness the exchange of memoranda of understanding and co-operation agreements between government departments, enterprises and organisations from Hong Kong and Uzbekistan.
Speaking to the media in Uzbekistan yesterday (June 4), Mr Lee set out the three main objectives of the visit: further explore emerging markets and lay the foundation for long-term economic and trade development; strengthen government-to-government (G2G) relationships and promote closer bilateral co-operation; and build a “hub-to-hub” model of co-operation.
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.

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.
Scenery along the 988-km Hainan Coastal Scenic Highway (top) and the 466-km Tropical Rainforest National Park Tourist Highway (bottom).
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%.
