activities and contribute to overall growth of the country's economy, the embassy said in a press statement.
During the celebration, Bangladesh's ambassador to Qatar Md Jashim Uddin commended Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's forward-looking leadership and expressed deep gratitude to her for building the Padma Bridge with Bangladesh's own funds.
He mentioned that the bridge would play a special role in industry, tourism, agriculture and education.
Describing the bridge as a symbol of self-confidence and self-respect, the ambassador said the bridge will inspire Bangladesh to undertake similar mega projects in the future.
