"It would be foolish, to my mind, for us to think of the AIIB as a competitor because there's no way that the money we provide for infrastructure is going to be enough for us to reach the goal of ending extreme poverty. So we very strongly welcome all the other participants. We would say, please, take advantage of our 70 years of experience in doing this kind of business, and let's see how we can work even more closely together."
