China's finance minister Lan Fo'an attended the Asian Infrastructure Investment
Bank's 11th annual board meeting in Doha via video on Sept. 28-29; the meeting
theme was "Future Infrastructure: Impact and Innovation." Lan, China's AIIB
governor, said the bank completed a smooth management transition and urged
scaling up infrastructure financing, protecting multilateral decision-making,
sticking to institutional strategic priorities, and maintaining high operational
standards to lift project quality and development effectiveness amid rising
global instability and growing development deficits. He said China, as the
bank's largest shareholder and host, will work with members to push AIIB to a
higher growth trajectory over the next decade.
