Chinese Premier Li Qiang emphasized sustainable infrastructure and international cooperation at the 10th Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) Annual Meeting in Beijing, calling the bank a 'bridge for shared prosperity.'
Speaking to delegates from over 100 countries and regions, Li highlighted the AIIB’s role in funding green energy projects, digital innovation, and cross-border connectivity since its 2016 launch. 🌱💡 'The AIIB is proof that multilateralism works,' he said, nodding to the bank’s $44 billion portfolio spanning roads, solar farms, and smart cities.
With the theme 'Global Challenges, Sustainable Solutions,' this year’s meeting focused on climate-resilient infrastructure—a hot topic for young professionals and eco-conscious Gen Z investors. 📈 The premier also teased 'new partnerships' to boost tech-driven development in Asia, sparking buzz among startup circles.
Fun fact: The AIIB now has 109 members, including non-Asian heavyweights like Canada and France. Talk about squad goals! 👥🌍
