The mission of the World Bank is to reduce poverty and to promote economic development and that's really what I want to stress,
From the World Bank point of view, it's a welcome possibility that contributions to the IDA would be increased and facilitated.
I am asking the committee to look for candidates who share our commitment to the Bank Group's mission of poverty reduction, who have extensive experience in developing countries and preferably come from developing countries; and who are dedicated to assuring that the Bank Group is a model of integrity and accountability,
The committee represents the Bank Group's regions and network as well as its rich diversity of personnel,
indicates they will not provide adequate protection for GPS and other critical DOD systems.
It's not an exaggeration to say that 1.2 billion people living in extreme poverty need a result from Hong Kong,
The best indications of where he might be tend to point almost entirely, mostly to that area,
