1. Project Background
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank whose mission is Financing Infrastructure for Tomorrow in Asia and beyond—infrastructure with sustainability at its core. We began operations in January 2016 and have since grown to over 111 members worldwide.

These changes necessitate corresponding updates to travel policies, procedures, and operational practices to ensure continued efficiency, compliance, and cost effectiveness.
