The ambassador-designate stated that 'today's assistance was part of Korea's effort to fulfill this commitment and show solidarity with Bangladesh in this time of unprecedented crisis.

The KOICA's country director reassured that KOICA would stand by Bangladesh in its Covid-19 fight and continue supporting the country in various sectors to curb the pandemic.

MP Saber Hossain Chowdhury and director of DGNM reassured their services for the people of Bangladesh as a whole and expressed their sincere gratitude to KOICA for its support.

The 1,800 emergency food and sanitary goods including rice, lentil, semolina, soybean oil, sugar, salt, milk powder, antiseptic soaps, hand sanitizers, face masks, laundry soaps and toothpaste are aimed to assist marginalized households of Dhaka's Mudga community whose livelihoods have been severely interrupted by the deadly pandemic.
