The EDB's Chairman of the Management Board, Nikolay Podguzov, highlighted the importance of the event in creating potential partnerships and attracting new investments in the Eurasian region and Central Asian countries. The bank's previous successful organization of the annual meeting of the Association of Development Financing Institutions in the Asia-Pacific region in 2023 is a testament to its commitment to fostering cooperation and knowledge sharing.
