The establishment of the Silk Road Fund is to use China's financial strength to directly support the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. We should pay attention to handling affairs in accordance with international practices, make full use of the long-term accumulated theoretical and practical experience of existing multilateral financial institutions, formulate and implement strict rules and regulations, improve transparency and inclusiveness, and make up our minds to do the first batch of business well.

Silk Road Fund will provide investment and financing support for infrastructure construction, resource development, industrial cooperation and other related projects along the Belt and Road.

The relationship between Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, Silk Road Fund and other global and regional multilateral development banks is complementary rather than substitute, and will operate under the current international economic and financial order.

The establishment of the Silk Road Fund, together with the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), will vigorously promote the construction of the Belt and Road and create a "high-speed rail" for Asia's interconnection.
