UNB, Dhaka :
Haoliang Xu, United Nations Assistant Secretary-General and Director, UNDP Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific, arrives here on Saturday on a four-day visit.
His visit marks the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of UNDP around the world and builds on over 40 years of UNDP support to Bangladesh. This is Xu’s third visit to Bangladesh and the UNDP is looking towards a more strategic partnership with Bangladesh as it rapidly emerges as a middle-income country, said a media release on Friday. During his visit, Xu will attend the regional launching event of the Asia Pacific Human Development Report 2016 on April 26. He is scheduled to meet Information Minister Hasanul Haq Inu, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister Md Abul Kalam Azad and other high-profile UNDP partners.
In his capacity as Chair of the United Nations Development Group Asia-Pacific, Xu will be exploring how the UN in Bangladesh can best align its new development assistance framework with the Government’s seventh five year development plan – both of which will end as the nation reaches 50 years of independence in 2021.
