Japan has assured Bangladesh of a new loan package as part of its technical assistance to get two power plants going, the finance adviser said Sunday.

"Two organisations of Japan government JICA and Japan Bank for Cooperation (JBIC) will merge in October. From then they would assist Bangladesh," AB Mirza Azizul Islam said to reporters.

The adviser had a meeting with visiting vice-president of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Masafumi Kuroki at the planning ministry.

He said the JICA vice president spoke of assistance in three projects under the new loan package, including the Haripur Power Centre and the Centre Zone Power Distribution Project.

Besides, the adviser said he also assured assistance for Eastern Zone Bridge Improvement Project.

However, no final decision has been taken about how much money would be made available for the three projects.

Kuroki said that they had been holding discussions with the government about the new loan package for the three projects and that the Bangladesh government have responded positively.

"We hope they will soon finalise the three projects," the JICA official said..
