SYDNEY, May 6 (Reuters) - The chairman of China Investment Corp. (CIC), China's $300 billion sovereign wealth fund, said on Thursday euro zone nations can calm markets if unified over Greece.
"This is a very tough time for the euroland and also for the euro. But I also have seen some strong indications of the support for the countries in trouble," Jin Liqun, supervisory board chairman of CIC, told Reuters.
"If the euro members were to work together, I would say they can at least help calm down the people who are worried," he added, while attending a meeting of the world's sovereign wealth funds.
CIC was set up in September 2007, with the aim of seeking higher returns for part of the country's massive stockpile of foreign exchange reserves, which stood at $2.39 trillion at the end of 2009. (Reporting by Koh Gui Qing; Editing by Ed Davies)
