Visiting Asian Development Bank (ADB) Director General for South Asia Kunio Senga Monday assured Bangladesh of any support, if necessary, to tackle the country's vulnerable food situation.
"We'll closely monitor the situation and would be ready to help the government in any manner," he told reporters after a meeting with Finance and Planning Adviser Dr Mirza Azizul Islam.
The ADB director general arrived here Sunday night on a three-day official visit to Bangladesh.
Kunio said ADB is ready to provide support to face the food situation if the government is unable to manage it and request the ADB for its support.
He said the government has already undertaken various measures and was also considering new measures.
"The situation remained relatively under control," he said, adding that food is available in the country although the price ison the rise all over the world.
The Manila-based bank is dedicated to reducing poverty in the Asia and Pacific region through pro-poor sustainable economic growth, social development, and good governance.
