AIIB President Zou Jiayi arrived in Delhi on Tuesday to attend the opening sessions of the BRICS summit, underscoring the bank’s engagement with the bloc’s economic agenda.
AIIB President Zou Jiayi touched down in Delhi on Tuesday, marking the start of her participation in the BRICS summit scheduled to run through the weekend. The multilateral development bank’s chief is expected to meet with finance ministers and senior officials from the five member nations to discuss financing projects that align with the group’s shared growth objectives.
Zou’s itinerary includes a formal welcome ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhavan followed by a series of bilateral talks with Indian officials. The discussions are likely to focus on infrastructure financing, green energy investments and the potential for AIIB to co‑finance projects under the BRICS development agenda.
The BRICS summit, being held in New Delhi, brings together leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Zou’s presence signals the bank’s intent to deepen cooperation with the bloc, which has increasingly sought alternative sources of development finance beyond traditional Western institutions.
Analysts note that AIIB’s involvement could enhance the pool of capital available for large‑scale projects across member economies, especially in sectors such as transport, renewable energy and digital infrastructure. The summit will also provide a platform for Zou to present the bank’s latest initiatives and explore joint funding mechanisms with BRICS countries.
