“The partnership reflects the shared commitment of AIIB and FONPLATA to enhance development cooperation,” said Alexander of AIIB. “With common members in Latin America, we look forward to working together to identify common ways to support actions on tackling climate change, enhancing connectivity, and sharing knowledge and experiences.”

“We are grateful for AIIB's confidence in FONPLATA to enter into this partnership, which will enable us to identify cofinancing opportunities for infrastructure, trade, connectivity and climate projects. This joint cooperation will facilitate strategic, technical and operational exchanges between the two banks, bringing the two regions closer together,” said Prado of FONPLATA.
