Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the foreign ministry, said AIIB is a new type of multilateral development bank for the 21st century that was established under President Xi Jinping's proposal and commitment.

Since its establishment, thanks to the joint support from all of its members, AIIB has acted as a truly international, rule-based and high-standard institution, achieved leapfrog development and become a new important member of the system of global multilateral development institutions, making active contribution to global infrastructure development and sustainable growth, Guo said at a news briefing.
