Originally planned to be held in Beijing at the Bank’s new headquarters, this year’s Annual Meeting will be virtual so AIIB’s Governors and Senior Management can still engage with stakeholders from around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The virtual Opening Ceremony and Annual Meeting webinars will drive discussion on the importance of partnerships to connect markets, build greener economies, close the digital divide and navigate the challenges ahead.

Webinar participants include: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Former Finance Minister, Nigeria; Former Managing Director, World Bank; and Member of the AIIB International Advisory Panel; Kai-Fu Lee, Chairman and CEO of Sinovation Ventures; Christina Tan, CEO, Keppel Asia Infrastructure Fund; and, Nicholas Stern, IG Patel Professor of Economics and Government at the London School of Economics, and member of the AIIB International Advisory Panel.
