International Monetary Fund (IMF) Deputy Managing Director (DMD) Antoinette Monsio Sayeh today expressed her happiness for Padma Bridge during a three-hour visit to the project site.
"We, including IMF DMD, today visited Padma Bridge. She (Sayeh) was really impressed with it and was very happy that she visited it," said an IMF spokesperson after visiting the bridge.
The IMF DMD led a 10-member team to the bridge site, according to BSS.
After reaching the site at around 9:00 am, she visited the bridge, and saw river training works and resentment areas.
The project director also briefed her about a different perspective of the project before her departure from the site at around 12 noon, the spokesperson said.
Padma Bridge and the country's first metro rail are two very important projects of the country. Padma Bridge was built with the government's own resources while the metro rail project is being implemented with a Japanese loan.
Sayeh reached Bangladesh on Saturday for a five-day visit and left Dhaka on Wednesday evening. She also visited the metro rail on Monday.
