MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Tuesday appointed Indonesia's Samuel Tumiwa as the new institution's country director for Afghanistan, the bank's press service said in a statement.

"The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has appointed Samuel Tumiwa as new Country Director for Afghanistan… Mr. Tumiwa will lead ADB operations in Afghanistan and oversee the implementation of ADB’s Country Partnership Strategy, which aims to help the country achieve sustained and inclusive growth through infrastructure development, capacity and institutional development, as well as sector reform," the statement said.

According to the bank's press service, Tumiwa expressed hope to work closely with Kabul to improve the country's ties with the financial institution and to tackle poverty in Afghanistan.
