ADB president due tomorrow

Asian Development Bank (ADB) President Haruhiko Kuroda will arrive here on a two-day visit tomorrow.
His visit is expected to reaffirm ADB's strong support for the government's economic and social development programmes, which came under pressure from the global economic crisis.
Apart from holding meetings with top government leaders and representatives of civil society, Kuroda is also expected to make a field trip to an ADB-funded project to meet some of the project beneficiaries, said a release.
ADB has a long and active presence in Bangladesh, partnering with the government on a range of poverty-alleviation and development projects. Opened in 1982, ADB's resident mission in Bangladesh is the first overseas country field office established by ADB.
