Bank chief seeking a bigger role for Americas

Latin America and the Caribbean may not be the first areas that come to mind when you think of the Silk Road.

Yet, the chief of the Inter-American Development Bank said he wants to know how the region, which the IDB serves, can be better integrated into the Belt and Road Initiative.

As Luis Alberto Moreno, president of the IDB, prepared Wednesday to leave Washington for the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, which is in Beijing on Sunday and Monday, he said he hoped to get some answers.
