Ajay Banga heads to India for final stop on global tour

The US nominee for World Bank President Ajay Banga will visit New Delhi, India on 23 and 24 March, capping a three-week global listening tour that began in Africa before progressing to Europe, and Latin America, and Asia.

While in India, Banga will meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well as the Minister of Finance Nirmala Sitharaman and the Minister of External Affairs Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. These discussions will focus on India’s development priorities, the World Bank, and global economic development challenges.

Additionally, Banga will visit the Learnet Institute of Skills, which is a network of vocational institutes established in collaboration with the National Skills Development Corporation, funded in part by the World Bank. Banga will learn about the Institute’s program and meet with program participants, staff, alumni, and private sector partners to discuss how it is improving the lives and economic opportunities of participants – particularly young people.
