Padma Bridge opening to be unforgettable moment for Bangladesh, says EU envoy

The inauguration of the Padma Bridge is going to be an ‘unforgettable moment’ for the country's development, says Ambassador and Head of Delegation of the European Union to Bangladesh Charles Whiteley.

In a message on Monday, the EU envoy conveyed the warmest congratulations to Bangladesh on the momentous occasion of the opening of the Padma Bridge on June 25, reports UNB.

He said the Padma Bridge will add over 1.2 per cent to the GDP of the country.

“We look forward to using the bridge ourselves and to seeing what it does to facilitate people-to-people, family and commercial links. Congratulations, Bangladesh,” said ambassador Whiteley.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is scheduled to formally inaugurate the Padma Bridge on June 25.
