Azerbaijan Investment Holding Announces the Establishment of a CNY 7.5 Billion Joint Investment Fund with Silk Road Fund

As part of the Second Azerbaijan International Investment Forum, Azerbaijan Investment Holding (AIH) announced the establishment of a Joint Investment Fund with China’s Silk Road Fund (SRF).

With total capital of CNY 7.5 billion (approximately USD 1 billion), the Joint Investment Fund will be directed towards financing investment projects in Azerbaijan, as well as in other countries participating in China’s Belt and Road Initiative.

The Fund will provide a framework for AIH and SRF to jointly consider investment opportunities and finance prospective projects. This new mechanism will create additional opportunities for expanding investment cooperation between the parties and attracting long-term capital to a range of projects.

The establishment of the Joint Investment Fund follows the Framework Agreement signed between AIH and SRF in April 2025. Within the framework of the cooperation established under the Agreement, the parties subsequently continued their work towards the establishment of the Fund, holding discussions on potential investment areas, its structure and operating principles.

The establishment of the Fund represents an important step towards further deepening investment cooperation between Azerbaijan and China. AIH and SRF plan to continue cooperating through the Fund to identify and finance projects of mutual interest.
