THE ASEAN Infrastructure Fund (AIF) Action Plan (2025-2028) will catapult ASEAN’s role as the global standard in governance and sustainable development, said Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan.
He said the action plan serves to secure confidence among potential investors and co-financiers, which then produces tangible benefits to ASEAN member states in the form of sustainable and resilient infrastructure projects that will contribute to ASEAN’s growth and development for years to come, reported Bernama.
“As Malaysia assumes the role of chair of the AIF and the ASEAN chair for this year, we stand proud of the progress that the fund has made and the transformative vision it upholds.
“Malaysia believes that the AIF represents a crucial mechanism for addressing the region’s infrastructure challenges, and we fully support its continued evolution toward a more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive ASEAN,” he said at the action plan launching ceremony here today. – April 10, 2025
