 　　Themed "Asia's New Future: Toward a Community of Common Destiny", this year's Boao forum¹ will cover a number of different topics including the macro-economy, industrial transformation² and regional development.

　　Yang Xiyu, deputy director of the Boao Forum's Research and Training Institute, says the AIIB will also be one of the hot issues on the agenda.

　　"As we all know, the AIIB is now a hot topic. This is not because of us, but because of the different stances taken by countries in the West. Some countries have expressed doubts that the bank lacks good internal practices. We will discuss what the best practices are during the forum. I believe the discussions will help make the AIIB more inclusive, transparent³ and sustainable."

　　Austria this week has become the latest European country to announce plans to join the AIIB, making it the 6th European state to join as a founding member.

　　Chinese authorities say all countries are welcome to join the bank, which is designed to diversify⁴ infrastructure⁵ financing in Asia.

　　Decision making mechanisms⁶ and other issues about how the AIIB will operate are currently under discussion.

　　As one of the countries to join this year's Boao Forum, Indonesia says the AIIB will create more funding channels for the country's infrastructure development.

　　Parjiono Ciptowidarto is with the Indonesian Ministry⁷ of Finance.

　　"The infrastructure development is the biggest priority for economic development for Indonesia. Having this program, infrastructure development is a big issue. We have to have enough funding. We have to have good governance in the projects. We see this as one alternative for us in Indonesia that can be providing more options, more alternatives of fund sources for infrastructure development. "

　　With an expected initial capital of 50-billion US dollars, the AIIB is set to become formally operational by the end of this year.

　　Apart from AIIB, the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime⁸ Silk Road are also expected to top the agenda during this year's Boao Forum.

　　The two initiatives, which include a network of railways, oil and gas pipelines⁹, as well as other infrastructure projects, are being championed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in a bid to boost regional connectivity.

　　The Presidents of Armenia, Austria, Indonesia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Uganda and Zambia will attend the annual meeting.

　　Leading officials from other countries, including Malaysia, the Netherlands, Sweden and Russia, are also set to take part in the Boao Fourm.
