AIIB, ADB Renew Partnership to Tackle Regional Development Challenges

On the margins of COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) renewed their Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to deepen cooperation in addressing Asia’s most pressing development challenges.

The MOU was signed by AIIB President Jin Liqun and ADB President Masatsugu Asakawa, underscoring a shared commitment to climate action and adaptation, regional connectivity and private capital mobilization. Highlighting the longstanding partnership between AIIB and ADB, the renewal outlines a collaborative framework to enhance regional resilience and commitment to sustainable infrastructure development, aligned with the strategic priorities of both institutions.

“Strengthening our strategic partnership with ADB will mark a pivotal step forward, as the two Asia-focused MDBs work together to address Asia’s infrastructure needs, while leading climate transition in Asia and beyond,” said AIIB President Jin. “This enhanced MOU enables us to further leverage our combined expertise and resources to achieve greater impact, driving green, inclusive and resilient growth across the region.”

ADB President Asakawa highlighted the collaboration’s importance, “The enhanced collaboration between ADB and AIIB reflects our shared vision for sustainable development and connectivity across Asia, as well as a collective responsibility to set and achieve bold climate ambitions. By working together, we can drive measurable, lasting results for the people of our region.”

As part of the MoU, AIIB and ADB plan to initiate a joint action plan focused on cofinancing and knowledge-sharing to accelerate the delivery of impactful projects. This partnership renewal positions both institutions to collectively address the challenges of an evolving global landscape and meet the growing needs of their member countries.
