He reinforced the need for India to play a leadership role as a country with demonstrated successes leveraging infrastructure investments to improve economic outcomes.
In his speech to students at PDPU, President Jin encouraged the students to lead India into the future by championing cross-border collaboration and to challenge the status quo by experimenting with new development approaches to address their social and economic issues.
Following his trip, President Jin said "It was a great pleasure to meet Prime Minister Modi and other Indian leaders during my visit to Gujarat. As its second largest shareholder, India plays an important role in the development of this Bank, and I am grateful for the steadfast support of Prime Minister Modi and his government. This visit provided an important opportunity to hear from officials on the priority areas of need for infrastructure investment. The AIIB looks forward to being a strong partner for India in supporting its infrastructure development."
