Beijing, June ( وكالة الأنباء السعودية ۔ 27 يونيو 2025ء) During his participation in the governors’ roundtable, the minister emphasized the importance of the AIIB’s efforts to intensify its cooperation with other development banks and to attract private capital. He noted that private-sector participation in cross-border interconnection projects does not exceed 22%, reflecting the limited scope of public-private partnerships despite infrastructure development being a fundamental pillar of global economic growth.

Opportunities include dynamic risk distribution, the application of integrated financing mechanisms, and the creation of payment channels supported by blockchain technology.
Aljadaan emphasized the importance of the AIIB enhancing its support for low-income countries, explaining that the special funds provided by the bank are effective resources that can help bridge financing gaps and engage all members in the development process without exception.
The minister pointed out the need to increase AIIB’s investments in emerging energy technologies. “The bank has demonstrated an awareness of the importance of the energy sector, but we need to go further. Technologies such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) are essential to achieving energy security,” he said.
