Bangladesh: Quader invites WB director at Padma Bridge opening

DHAKA, 05 June 2022, (TON): Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader verbally invited Mercy Miyan Tembon, the country director for Bangladesh and Bhutan of World Bank, at the opening of Padma Bridge.

The government will send her a formal invitation also, Quader said while addessing a programme at the Brac Center where the WB country director was also present.

In 2012, the World Bank backtracked on its $1.2 billion money-lending deal on Padma Bridge construction on the ground of corruption allegations, a claim later rejected by a Canadian court.
