Bangladesh finance minister AHM Mustafa Kamal has sought more funding from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for important projects in his country along with necessary budget support considering future global uncertainties. Kamal met JICA president Akihiko Tanaka in Dhaka recently. Japan is the single largest bilateral development partner of Bangladesh.

Tanaka lauded the country’s economic progress, saying Bangladesh is an important country for JICA’s support programmes.

"Bangladesh is now far ahead than its neighboring countries in different social and economic indicators. Due to successful implementation of the support, the country's position is now very good in terms of (utilising) the development support extended by Japan," he was quoted as saying by Bangladeshi media reports.
