Dhaka, May 22 -- Noting that development is impossible without good governance, Prime Minister's International Affairs Adviser Dr Gowher Rizvi on Wednesday said it is important that everyone benefits from the development of a nation.

"A good government ensures that the benefit of development is distributed among all the citizens," he said while addressing a seminar on 'Good Governance and National Development' jointly arranged by the 9th BCS Forum and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) at the Officers' Club Dhaka.

Dr Rizvi said it means no development if the lifestyle of the country's citizens does not improve.

He said development gets sustainable if the government plays its part and delivers social justice.
