尊敬的各位理事，

各代表團團長，

各位嘉賓，

女士們，先生們，朋友們：

Honorable Governors,

Heads of Delegation,

Distinguished Guests,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friends,

值此亞洲基礎設施投資銀行第五屆理事會年會開幕之際，我謹代表中國政府和中國人民，並以我個人名義，對這次會議的召開表示熱烈的祝賀！向參會的各成員代表致以誠摯的問候！

On the occasion of the opening of the Fifth Annual Meeting of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), I wish to extend, on behalf of the government and people of China and in my own name, hearty congratulations on the convening of this meeting and warm greetings to all the delegates representing AIIB members.

2013年年底，我代表中國提議籌建亞洲基礎設施投資銀行，推動亞洲地區基礎設施建設和互聯互通，深化區域合作，實現共同發展。2016年1月16日，亞投行正式開業。4年多來，亞投行按照多邊開發銀行模式和原則運作，堅持國際性、規範性、高標準，實現良好開局。從最初57個創始成員攜手起航，發展到今天的來自亞洲、歐洲、非洲、北美洲、南美洲、大洋洲等六大洲的102個成員齊聚一堂，亞投行不斷發展壯大，已經為成員提供了近200億美元的基礎設施投資。亞投行朋友圈越來越大、好夥伴越來越多、合作質量越來越高，在國際上展示了專業、高效、廉潔的新型多邊開發銀行的嶄新形象。

In late 2013, I proposed on China’s behalf the establishment of the AIIB. The initiative is designed to develop infrastructure and connectivity in Asia and deepen regional cooperation for shared development. On 16 January 2016, the AIIB was officially launched. In the ensuing four years or more, the AIIB has followed the operating model and principles of multilateral development banks and acted as a truly international, rule-based and high-standard institution. It has got off to a good start. From the 57 founding members to today’s membership of 102 spanning the six continents of Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, South America and Oceania, the AIIB has grown from strength to strength and provided nearly US$20 billion in infrastructure investment to its members. With more good friends and partners getting on board for higher-quality cooperation, the AIIB has established itself in the world as a new type of professional, efficient and clean multilateral development bank.

新冠肺炎疫情暴發以來，亞投行迅速行動，成立了應急基金，支持成員應對疫情和恢復經濟，充分體現了亞投行的行動力。全球抗擊新冠肺炎疫情的實踐表明，人類是休戚與共、風雨同舟的命運共同體，唯有相互支持、團結合作才是戰勝危機的人間正道。解決經濟全球化進程中出現的矛盾，各國應該努力形成更加包容的全球治理、更加有效的多邊機制、更加積極的區域合作。亞投行應該成為促進成員共同發展、推動構建人類命運共同體的新平臺。我建議：

In the face of COVID-19, the AIIB has moved promptly to set up a COVID-19 Crisis Recovery Facility to support its members in containing the virus and reviving their economies. This is a typical example of the AIIB’s power of action. The global response to COVID-19 has made it clear that mankind rise and fall together in a community with a shared future. Mutual support and cooperation in solidarity are the only way for mankind to overcome crises. To address issues emerging in the course of economic globalization, countries should pursue more inclusive global governance, more effective multilateral institutions, and more robust regional cooperation. In this context, the AIIB may grow into a new platform that promotes development for all its members and facilitates the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. To make that happen, I would like to suggest the following:

第一，聚焦共同發展，把亞投行打造成推動全球共同發展的新型多邊開發銀行。和平與發展仍然是我們這個時代的主題。基礎設施互聯互通是助推各國共同發展的重要物質基礎。亞投行應該致力於服務所有成員發展需求，提供更多高質量、低成本、可持續的基礎設施投資，既要支持傳統基礎設施，也要支持新型基礎設施，為促進亞洲及其他地區經濟社會發展提供新動力。

First, let us aim at development for all and make the AIIB a new type of multilateral development bank that promotes development across the world. Peace and development remain the call of our times. For countries to develop together, infrastructure connectivity serves as an important physical foundation. The AIIB should commit itself to serving the development needs of all its members and providing more high-quality, low-cost and sustainable investment for both traditional and new types of infrastructure. This will give renewed impetus to economic and social development in Asia and beyond.

第二，勇於開拓創新，把亞投行打造成與時俱進的新型發展實踐平臺。謀創新才能謀未來。亞投行本身是國際經濟治理體系的新成員，應該順勢而為、應勢而變，創新發展理念、業務模式、機構治理，通過靈活多樣的發展融資產品，促進互聯互通，推動綠色發展，支持技術進步。

Second, let us keep breaking new ground and make the AIIB a new type of development platform progressing with the times. Innovation holds the key to our future. As a new member of the global economic governance system, the AIIB is well-placed to adapt to changes and act accordingly. By constantly updating its development philosophy, business model and institutional governance and by providing flexible and diverse development financing products, the AIIB could help enhance connectivity, promote green development and boost technological advance.

第三，創造最佳實踐，把亞投行打造成高標準的新型國際合作機構。亞投行發展要堅持高標準、高質量，把遵循國際通行標準、尊重普遍發展規律同適應各成員自身發展的實際需要有機結合起來，創造國際發展合作最佳實踐。

Third, let us strive for excellence and make the AIIB a new type of high-performance institution for international cooperation. High standard and high quality must be ensured in the development of the AIIB. While following international standards and respecting the general law of development, the AIIB should keep in mind the actual development needs of its members, thus creating best practices for international development cooperation.

第四，堅持開放包容，把亞投行打造成國際多邊合作新典範。要堅持共商共建共享原則，順應世界經濟格局調整演變趨勢，同更多發展夥伴開展合作，提供區域和全球公共產品，推動區域經濟一體化，推動經濟全球化朝著更加開放、包容、普惠、平衡、共贏的方向發展。

Fourth, let us stay open and inclusive and make the AIIB a new paradigm of multilateral cooperation. Under the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, the AIIB needs to respond to adjustments and changes in the global economic landscape and engage more development partners in cooperation. It needs to provide public goods for our region and beyond, push for regional economic integration, and help make economic globalization more open, inclusive, balanced and beneficial for all.

女士們、先生們、朋友們！

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friends,

中國始終支持多邊主義、踐行多邊主義，以開放、合作、共贏精神同世界各國共謀發展。中國將繼續同各成員一道支持亞投行、辦好亞投行，為國際社會應對風險挑戰、實現共同發展作出更大貢獻。希望亞投行不負使命、不負時代、不負眾託。

China always supports and adheres to multilateralism, and pursues development with the rest of the world in the spirit of openness and mutually-beneficial cooperation. China will continue working with other members to support the AIIB and make it a success, and contribute more to the global response to risks and challenges and the pursuit of shared development. I hope the AIIB will live up to its mission and our expectations and prove worthy of our times.

最後，我衷心祝願本屆理事會年會圓滿成功！

To conclude, I sincerely wish this Annual Meeting a complete success.

謝謝大家。

Thank you.
