Fund mulled to support Belt, Road projects

Proposed financing body could include global agencies, countries involved, executive says

China Investment Corporation, the country's sovereign wealth investment fund, is seeking global partners to jointly establish a special cross-border investment instrument which will further finance Belt and Road projects, said a senior company executive.

"We call it the Belt and Road cooperation fund," Tu Guangshao, CIC vice-chairman and president, said in an exclusive interview. Other arrangements, including the fund's scale, specific investment methods and investment currency, are all "too early to be determined".
