The Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Li Jiachao, said in a social networking platform that today, he met with the President of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, Ms. Zou Jiayi at the Protocol House and welcomed her to Hong Kong to attend the 2026 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Organization Finance Ministers Meeting. Li Jiachao pointed out that this time he met President Zou again after January of this year. As a member of the AIIB, Hong Kong has always taken advantage of the unique advantages of internal and external communication under “one country, two systems” to help the AIIB promote the sustainable development of infrastructure in Asia. Li Jiachao said that the SAR government welcomes the AIIB to further use Hong Kong's mature and complete bond market to issue bonds, guide accurate investment of international funds into high-quality green projects, and promote carbon neutrality and green economy transformation. The SAR government fully supports the AIIB's preparations to establish an office in Hong Kong. It is hoped that Hong Kong will continue to play an important role as a “super contact” and a “super value-added person” to support the AIIB's business needs in many ways. Li Jiachao pointed out that starting tomorrow, the APEC Finance Ministers Meeting will be held in Hong Kong for 2 consecutive days. The SAR government will use Hong Kong's experience and advantages as an international financial center to ensure the success of Hong Kong's first finance ministers meeting. It will also make good use of this opportunity to deepen international exchanges and cooperation, and better integrate and serve the country's overall development. He looks forward to showing the world the unique charm and unlimited opportunities of Hong Kong as a cosmopolitan city through this event.
