The State Bank of Vietnam published an update on its delegation, led by Deputy Governor Nguyen Ngoc Canh, participating in the 10th Annual Meeting of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) Board of Governors in Beijing from 23–27 June 2025. The delegation joined the formal Governors’ sessions and used the meetings to frame Vietnam’s cooperation priorities with AIIB and partners, including green transition finance, smart and cross-border connectivity infrastructure, and private capital mobilisation. The programme included participation in the election of the new AIIB President and the updating and approval of AIIB operational resolutions, alongside interventions at a Governors’ roundtable and a keynote role at a public seminar on strengthening ASEAN connectivity through innovative partnerships. Bilateral engagements covered cooperation with AIIB on bond investment, portfolio development and innovative financial products, with Vietnam also proposing stronger AIIB presence in Southeast Asia and expanded concessional financial instruments. Separate discussions with Chinese banking counterparts, including ICBC, focused on potential cooperation in bond investments, green credit, trade finance, and modern cross-border payment solutions such as implementing QR-code payments between the two countries. AIIB announced that its 11th Annual Meeting will be hosted in Doha, Qatar on 23–24 September 2026.
