He affirmed that Vietnam will continue engaging in AIIB as a reliable and responsible partner by fulfilling all obligations of a member, and also hope for more assistance from the lender.
Vietnam has demand for capital for infrastructure development and upgrade, and AIIB is one of the potential capital sources, President Quang said, asking the bank to work with relevant agencies of Vietnam to specify suitable funding mechanisms and methods.
AIIB President Jin said President Quang’s impressive speech at the APEC CEO Summit inspired businesses to increase investment and business activities in Vietnam. He also highly valued Vietnam’s active contribution to his bank’s foundation and activities.
As Vietnam boasts huge development potential, infrastructure investment for socio-economic development is still an important strategy. AIIB pledges to help Vietnam access its capital sources to meet this demand, Jin added.
The AIIB leader was in Da Nang to attend activities of the APEC CEO Summit, part of the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week from November 6 to 11.
