The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has launched its highly anticipated 57th annual meeting in Tbilisi, Georgia.

The four-day event, held from May 2-5, has attracted thousands of delegates, including ADB senior management, policymakers, private sector representatives, and leading development thinkers from Asia and the Pacific.

With the theme "Bridge to the Future," the meeting will serve as a premier platform to address key economic and development issues for the region.

Of particular importance at this year's gathering is the pressing concern of climate change. Recognising the urgent need for action, the ADB has placed a strong emphasis on discussing climate change and its implications. 

The outcomes of these discussions will play a pivotal role in shaping policies and initiatives in the region. 

The annual meeting also provides an invaluable opportunity for knowledge sharing and networking. With the participation of specialists, policymakers and representatives from the private sector, attendees will have the chance to exchange ideas, forge partnerships, and explore innovative solutions to the region's most pressing challenges.
