During his visit, Senga will meet senior government officials and other development partners to exchange views on ways how ADB could extend support to the government to promote sustainable growth, reduce poverty and improve governance.

This is Senga's first visit to Bangladesh since he took over as the DG, SARD in September 2004, a press release issued by the ADB said.

He oversees the operations of the six divisions in South Asian Department, covering operations coordination, transportation and communication, energy, agriculture, environment, and natural resources, social sectors and governance, finance and trade. ADB's resident missions in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka are also under his purview.
