Lender to enhance efforts with HK on B&R

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank will further enhance cooperation with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in boosting the Belt and Road Initiative, AIIB President Jin Liqun said on Saturday.

"Hong Kong, as one of the major international financial centers, has advantages in a wide range of areas including investment, risk assessment, finance, insurance, accounting, legal services and arbitration," Jin said at a seminar in Beijing. "It also enjoys rich experience in infrastructure construction and operation management."

"We are willing to strengthen cooperation with the Hong Kong officials, financial institutions, relevant agencies and enterprises to further promote the initiative, thus contributing to economic expansion in Asia, as well as the global economy."
