Masatsugu Asakawa, the President of the Asian Development Bank, on Wednesday said the Bank was “proud to support major projects and policy reforms” in Georgia during a meeting with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili.

Asakawa told Garibashvili the ADB planned to step up its support for Georgia’s development as it diversified its engagement with the country. 

ADB is proud to support major projects and policy reforms that will deepen capital markets, transform state-owned enterprises, boost human capital, and enhance climate resilience”, Asakawa said.

The ADB said Asakawa also commended Georgia for its “active” role in promoting regional cooperation and integration through the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Programme, a partnership of countries and development partners working together to promote sustainable development.
