As the third annual general meeting of the board of governors of Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) kicked off in Mumbai, president Jin Liqun on Monday said trade war between any nations is a global concern and could impact global economic growth.

Speaking exclusively to CNBC-TV18, Liqun said the current global scenario is risky and there are lot of issues, which will have to be dealt with quickly without an all-out trade war.

According to Liqun, the Chinese government is looking to solve tariff issues with United States as soon as possible, "I do hope both sides will try their very best to work this out.”

The theme for this year's meeting is 'Mobilizing Finance for Infrastructure: Innovation and Collaboration' that will see leaders from various organisations and levels of government to share ideas and experiences for creating a sustainable future through sound infrastructure investment, the finance ministry said in a statement.

It is to be noted that Department of Economic Affairs under the finance ministry, the Centre and the AIIB will jointly host the third annual meeting on June 25-26, 2018 in Mumbai.
