Netherlands seeks to join Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank
AMSTERDAM, March 28 (Reuters) - The Netherlands intends to join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Saturday, becoming the latest U.S. ally to seek membership in the China-led institution despite Washington's misgivings.
Rutte announced the decision on his official Facebook (NasdaqGS: FB - news) page during a visit to China and after a meeting with President Xi Jinping.
Separately, the Dutch Finance Ministry sent a letter to parliament informing it of the Cabinet's decision. (Reporting by Toby Sterling; Editing by David Holmes)
