energy cooperation during the meeting.
The ADB vice president assured of being with Bangladesh in
its development efforts.
"We have strong ties with Bangladesh and ADB will be
with Bangladesh and continue to give support to both rural and urban
development," he said.
The ADB vice president commanded the dynamic leadership of
Sheikh Hasina to keep rolling the wheels of Bangladesh's economy amid the
Covid-19 pandemic.
"Bangladesh has been able to keep running the country's
economy amid the Covid-19 pandemic due to the visionary leadership of Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina," he said.
He also said his organisation expected that Bangladesh may
achieve 7 percent growth in the GDP.
Shixin Chen has praised the overall development of
Bangladesh, saying, "Bangladesh is now going through a transitional period
(due to its graduation as a developing nation) which is usually critical. But
Bangladesh is doing well."
