2. Share open scenarios to empower diverse industries. Build and operate 5G-A×AI/6G open laboratories, actively open high-value industry scenarios, and co-develop replicable AI benchmark projects.
3. Establish dialogue platforms to advance AI for good. Foster constructive dialogue, leverage outcomes such as the MI3 Index, and explore common ground on AI standards, safety, and governance to promote human well-being.
Li Huidi, Executive Vice President of China Mobile, remarked that as a founding member of GTI, China Mobile has consistently upheld the principles of “openness, sharing, cooperation, and mutual benefit,” contributing to the prosperity of the global ICT industry. In recent years, China Mobile has positioned itself as a provider, integrator, and a facilitator in the field of AI. Through its AI action plan, China Mobile is driving faster innovation, and wider application of digital technologies, contributing its strength to sustainable high quality economic and social development. He outlined China Mobile’s strategy of advancing “AI for Life”, “AI for Production” and “AI for Governance”.

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.
