I am committed to ensuring that AIA continues to capture the significant opportunities available across the Asia-Pacific region to deliver sustainable value for shareholders while helping millions of customers live healthier, longer, better lives."

Ng Keng Hooi, AIA's Group Chief Executive and President, said: "I have enjoyed a wonderful executive career in the life insurance industry and the position as Group Chief Executive and President of AIA has been one of the great privileges of my professional life. I am extremely proud of the team we have built and the Group's achievements during my time at AIA. I have benefited from the outstanding support of our Board as well as the dedication, professionalism and collaboration from my leadership team at the Group and in all of our local businesses. What sets AIA apart is the depth and quality of our employees, agents and partners, whose tireless work and unrelenting commitment have allowed us to transform how we engage with and serve our customers.

"I have known Yuan Siong for more than 20 years. He has deep experience of Asian life insurance markets and has demonstrated transformational leadership in the successful development and deployment of new technology. In addition to his exceptional track record of execution and delivery, he has a proven ability to drive innovation and build long-term sustainable value at scale within the insurance industry. I am very pleased to pass the role of Group Chief Executive and President on to someone in whom I have so much confidence, and I am sure that AIA will go from strength to strength under his leadership.
