Jiang extended a warm welcome on behalf of Peking University, reaffirming the institution's longstanding commitment to developing talent with the global perspective and professional depth required to engage with the world's most complex challenges — values he regards as deeply consonant with those that have guided the partnership with the AIIB.
Tian introduced recent developments in Guanghua's academic programs, research strengths, and international partnerships, with particular emphasis on the school's work at the intersection of finance, technology, and public policy. He discussed strengthening the long-term cooperation mechanism between the two institutions — one that continues to provide a durable structure for joint research initiatives, faculty and student exchange, and regular dialogue between academic and practitioner communities.
Pandey shared updates on AIIB's recent development priorities and spoke to the importance of continued collaboration with leading academic institutions. He commended Guanghua's integration of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies into its teaching and research and expressed keen interest in advancing practical collaboration to address major challenges in global infrastructure and sustainable development.
Ke Fang, director general of AIIB's Portfolio Management Department, elaborated on AIIB's practices in institutional capacity building and knowledge-bank development. He noted that AIIB places great importance on attracting and cultivating global talent and welcomed continued engagement with Guanghua faculty and students through classroom exchanges and discussions on international investment, project management, and multilateral cooperation.
