AIIB proves to world it can meet requirements of the 21st century
OUR PERFORMANCE has indisputably proved to the world that this is a genuine multilateral development agency that operates in accordance with high international standards, said Jin Liqun, president of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, in a recent interview with China Newsweek. The following are excerpts of Jin's interview:
When the AIIB opened on Jan 16, 2016, there were many doubting voices saying that the bank lacked transparency, and that China had an absolute say over it.
Yet the bank's fast development and performance over the past three years - it now has 93 members compared with 57 three years ago, and it has approved an investment totaling $7.5 billion on projects in developing countries in Asia and beyond - are testimony to its professionalism and vitality.
