Based on my time at the World Bank as an Alternate Executive Director, I am fully confident that such close cooperation between the Banks will lead to improved lives for citizens of our Member countries".
President Kim said "I congratulate Secretary General Jin Liqun and all prospective founding members on the great progress made in establishing the AIIB. More funding for infrastructure will help the poor, and we are pleased to be working with China and others to help the AIIB hit the ground running".
