With delegations converging in Samarkand for the #ADBAnnualMeeting, my engagements have been heavily focused on moving from dialogue to action.

I was pleased to meet ADB Governor for Switzerland Pietro Lazzeri of @SECO_CH; ADB Governor for Azerbaijan and Finance Minister Sahil Babayev; Michaël Boseret of @BelgiumMFA; Shanti Bobin of @DGTresor; Maya Elnathan of @Israel_MOF; Lawrence Bartolomucci of @MEF_GOV; José Carlos de Azevedo Pereira of @pt_financas; and Carla Díaz Álvarez de Toledo of @_minecogob.

With Switzerland, we explored how Swiss innovation, private sector expertise, and high-quality solutions can better connect with Asia and the Pacific’s development needs. With Azerbaijan, we focused on urban infrastructure, water, transport, and its strategic role in connectivity through the Trans-Caspian Green Energy Corridor. With partners from Belgium, France, Israel, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, we exchanged views on cofinancing, investment flows, and deeper strategic cooperation.

In a more complex world, results depend on execution. ADB will work with partners to deliver impact at scale.
