The Padma Bridge will help open up the eyes of international investors including the Saudi companies, said the Saudi envoy in Dhaka said on Monday (June 20).

Investors will give serious look towards Bangladesh as an investment destination, added Saudi envoy.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina took the revolutionary step by self-financing to build the Padma Bridge, Saudi ambassador to Bangladesh Essa Yousef Essa Al Duhailan told media at the embassy.

He said Padma Bridge is one of Bangladesh’s most momentous achievements that helped accomplish the people’s dream.

On behalf of the King Salman Bin Abdulaziz and crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, the ambassador congratulated President Abdul Hamid, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her government as well as the people of Bangladesh ahead of the historic day of the formal inauguration of the bridge.

He said the Padma Bridge is a unique project nationally and internationally and it will help Bangladesh think beyond and build more infrastructures in the future. 

The ambassador appreciated Bangladesh’s political stability and overall security environment which he thinks very favorable to foreign investors.
