Appreciating the longstanding relationship between Bangladesh and the European Union (EU), Foreign Affairs Adviser Md Touhid Hossain on Tuesday sought support from the European Investment Bank (EIB) in human capital development, with particular emphasis on vocational training. He noted that the large number of Bangladeshis living abroad could better contribute in both economies through skills development. With regard to the EIB-financed projects in Bangladesh, Hossain hoped for efficient and expedited disbursement as per commitment. The issues were discussed when visiting Vice President of the EIB Nicola Beer met with the Foreign Affairs Adviser at the latter’s office.
