The diplomats had the opportunity to see Bangladesh's dream project Padma Bridge on their way to Tungipara.

"Another game-changer for inclusive and sustainable development," the Japanese Ambassador to Bangladesh Ito Naoki tweeted.

Padma Bridge is expected to be opened to traffic by June next, helping the government greatly boost transportation and connectivity across 21 southwestern districts.
