Sitharaman also expressed support to ADB for innovative financing mechanisms to enhance the lending capacity of the bank. She advised ADB to introspect and assess how the bank can effectively support developing member countries.
Sitharaman urged Asakawa to support India with more concessional climate finance, as the country’s economic and developmental progress can have a huge positive impact regionally and globally.
