Dr. K.A.S. Murshid represented BIDS and Bangladesh in the annual meeting of the Asian Think Tank Network (ATTN) held in Colombo, Sri Lanka on 20-21 September, 2017. This was the 5th meeting of the network which is supported by ADB. This year's host was the Institute of Policy Studies in Colombo. The theme of the conference was 'Financing Sustainable Urbanization'. This was an excellent opportunity to learn from each other and deepen institutional ties in the region.
