Dhaka (UNB) – Yoshihiko Kono, Executive Director of Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) arrives here on Saturday on a three-day visit.

During his stay, he will conduct a study on the Information Technology (IT) Policy, potential growth of IT sector, participation of NGOs in development of IT and the general condition of IT sector in Bangladesh.

The main purpose of his visit would be to integrate development assistance with IT in developing countries as well as to find ways to tackle the so called “Digital Divide” that is likely to handicap the growth potential.

In this connection, he will meet secretaries of different ministries, heads of the leading NGOs in the country and other concerned officials, besides visiting some rural areas where the impact of IT development is evident.
