China and Russia Rival Candidates for Heading AIIB
Russia's Ambassador to China, Andrey Denisov declared that Russia and China will be the only two countries nominating candidates to head the Beijing-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), Sputnik News reports.
"We as a shareholder country have a good chance, as we hold the third place after China and India in terms of equity capital in the bank. In addition, we are a member of the Asian group of participants," Denisov told reporters.
As for India the ambassador noted that it cannot nominate a candidate, as its representative already heads BRICS' New Development Bank.
According to the same source on August 26, Georgia's capital Tbilisi will host a session of AIIB's board of governors, which is currently being formed. During this session the bank's head will be elected.
