Chinese Premier Li Qiang has addressed the 10th annual meeting of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank Board of Governors.
Premier Li Qiang affirmed China's commitment to high standards opening up and China's ongoing deep integration into the world economy.
The meeting aims to review the AIIB's achievements over the past one decade and outline its path for the next one decade.
The Beijing-based AIIB was founded in 2015.
Over the past one decade,
it has approved more than 60 billion US dollars in terms of financing for over 320 projects.

So, thank you very much for joining us today, Professor Yao.
First of all, do you think the AIIB has acted as a truly international,
truly rule-based, and high-standard multilateral institution over the past decade?
