President Jin said that, “as a founding member, Uzbekistan has actively contributed to AIIB’s development since its inception.” He reaffirmed AIIB’s strategic commitment to continue supporting Uzbekistan's sustainable growth.

The two leaders lauded the elevated level of engagement achieved in recent years. They reviewed the current infrastructure investment landscape and discussed opportunities to further expand cooperation.
