To assist Bangladesh's effort to hold a credible election, the Government of the Republic of Korea has donated $5 lakh for 'Preparation of Electoral Roll with Photographs (PERP)' project, says a press release.
Ambassador of the Republic of Korea Park Suk Bum said “We sincerely hope that Korea's contribution to the efforts of the Bangladeshi Government for credible, safe and fair election would lead to achieve good governance and national development. Korean people are pleased to participate in the international effort in helping Bangladesh overcome difficulties and make progress for the future.”
