The International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds (IFSWF) is an important global organization comprising key sovereign wealth funds. Since its inception, it has been instrumental in fostering exchange and cooperation between sovereign wealth funds, promoting policy dialogue with major recipient countries and regions, and facilitating the orderly flow of cross-border investments. As a founding member of the IFSWF, CIC has served continuously on its Board and diligently implemented the Santiago Principles for the governance of sovereign wealth funds. In 2024, CIC was re-elected as a Board Member of the Forum. In May 2025, CIC hosted the IFSWF Sustainable Investing Workshop in Beijing. The event brought together over 70 representatives from international organizations and sovereign wealth funds of nearly 20 countries. Participants engaged in in-depth exchanges on leading practices and development pathways, while gaining deeper understanding of China's green technology, digital innovation, and investment opportunities.
