The two-day meeting will be held under the theme ‘Tomorrow’s Infrastructure: Impact and Innovation,’ reflecting the Bank’s focus on expanding investment in sustainable and resilient infrastructure as it enters its second decade of operations.

The event follows the 10th AIIB Annual Meeting, held in Beijing from June 24-26, 2025, under the theme ‘Connecting for Development, Collaborating for Prosperity.’ Among the speakers were HE Ali bin Ahmed Al Kuwari, Minister of Finance, State of Qatar; Jin Liqun, President and Chair of the Board of
Directors, AIIB; HE Lan Fo’an, Minister of Finance, People’s Republic of China; and HE Indranee Rajah, Minister of Prime Minister’s Office of Singapore. That gathering also brought together members, partners, business leaders, civil society representatives and global experts to discuss financing infrastructure for the future.

The 2025 meeting also marked the beginning of celebrations of AIIB’s first decade, highlighting its efforts to support sustainable economic development, infrastructure connectivity and prosperity across its members in Asia and beyond.

The Doha meeting is expected to build on that decade of experience while placing greater emphasis on innovation, sustainability and the infrastructure needs of the coming years.
