Led by China Investment Corporation (CIC), sovereign wealth funds have launched the China-ASEAN Investment Association.

China Investment Corporation (hereinafter referred to as CIC) has taken another important step.

On September 8, China Investment Corporation (CIC), the Indonesian Investment Authority (INA), the Azerbaijan National Petroleum Fund (SOFAZ), the Government Pension Fund of Thailand (GPF), and Khazanah Nasional Berhad (Malaysia) jointly announced the establishment of the China-ASEAN Investment Association (CAJIC) at the 26th China International Fair for Investment and Trade in Xiamen. The Malaysian Civil Servants Pension Plan (KWAP) has also signed an agreement to join CAJIC.

CAJIC was initiated by China Investment Corporation (CIC), with Galaxy Overseas, a subsidiary of China Galaxy Securities, serving as its secretariat. This federation is a platform for sovereign investors, aiming to bring together capital, knowledge, and leadership from China and ASEAN through regular dialogue, annual forums, thematic research, and executive study tours. It seeks to deepen partnerships among members, expand cross-border investment cooperation opportunities, promote a more robust and sustainable China-ASEAN cross-border investment ecosystem, and create an important platform for pragmatic two-way investment cooperation.

Senior representatives from participating institutions stated that, as long-term institutional investors, they are optimistic about the growing investment opportunities along the China-ASEAN corridor and view CAJIC as a platform for sustained investment cooperation between China and ASEAN. All parties will leverage CAJIC to deepen dialogue, share research, better assess opportunities and risks, and translate shared knowledge into sound long-term investment decisions, thereby promoting two-way investment between China and ASEAN.

CAJIC was officially established on September 8, 2026, at the 26th China International Fair for Investment and Trade in Xiamen.
