ΑΝΑΓΝΩΡΙΖΟΝΤΑΣ ότι η σημαντική μακροπρόθεσμη ανάγκη χρηματοδότησης της ανάπτυξης των υποδομών στην Ασία θα επιτευχθεί καλύτερα με μια εταιρική σχέση μεταξύ των υφιστάμενων πολυμερών αναπτυξιακών τραπεζών και της Ασιατικής Τράπεζας Υποδομών και Επενδύσεων (εφεξής "Τράπεζα"). ΠΕΠΕΙΣΜΕΝΑ ότι η ίδρυση της Τράπεζας ως πολυμερούς χρηματοπιστωτικού ιδρύματος επικεντρωμένου στην ανάπτυξη των υποδομών θα συμβάλει στην κινητοποίηση των πολύ αναγκαίων πρόσθετων πόρων από το εσωτερικό και στο εξωτερικό της Ασίας και στην εξάλειψη των δυσχερειών εξεύρεσης χρηματοδότησης που αντιμετωπίζουν οι μεμονωμένες οικονομίες της Ασίας και θα συμπληρώσει τις υφιστάμενες πολυμερείς αναπτυξιακές τράπεζες, να προωθήσουν τη βιώσιμη και σταθερή ανάπτυξη στην Ασία. · ΣΥΜΦΩΝΗΣΑΝ να ιδρύσουν την Τράπεζα, η οποία θα λειτουργεί σύμφωνα με τα εξής:
