The Asian Development Bank (ADB), has praised Honourable Prime Minister (HPM) Sheikh Hasina’s dynamic and successful leadership in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic and rolling out a nationwide vaccination programme. ADB Country Director in Bangladesh Manmohan Parkash came up with the appreciation when he met HPM Sheikh Hasina at her official residence.

In post on Facebook by Bangladesh Foreign Affairs Ministry, Parkash noted that Bangladesh, under the able leadership of HPM sheikh Hasina, has made a mark on the global arena by launching the vaccination campaign with its limited resources when many countries are waiting to begin vaccinating their countrymen against the deadly viral disease. On the other hand, the ADB has pledged to provide US$ 940 million as assistance to Bangladesh to procure the Covid-19 vaccines.
