Finance minister AHM Mustafa Kamal has requested for the World Bank to sync its Country Partnership Framework for the 8th Five Year Plan, Vision Plan and Delta Plan and the other government master plans such that Bangladesh can reach its goal of becoming a developed country by 2041.
He made the request after World Bank Vice President for the South Asia Region Martin Raiser, accompanied by Abdulaye Sek, World Bank’s new country director for Bangladesh and Bhutan, paid a courtesy call on him at the Secretariat on Sunday.
The finance minister also requested the World Bank to finance projects to revive the rivers around Dhaka, ensure navigability and enhance the beauty of Dhaka, which the global money lender agreed to, he added.
