Disappointment as envoys of Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh skip inauguration of Sinamale-Bridge in Maldives
According to Maldivian opposition party spokesperson Ahmed Mahloof, envoys from Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh did not attend the recent inauguration event of the Sinamale Bridge- constructed with the help of a USD 72 million loan from China.
Ahmed, in a tweet posted on August 31, said "Ambassadors of Sri Lanks and Bangladesh boycotted the bridge inauguration event as their cars were stopped by Yameen's security and they were asked to walk. Only Chinese Ambassador's car was allowed to pass up to the venue. Such an insult to traditional friends."
The two-kilometer-long bridge, which connects capital Male and Hulhule island, is also called the China-Maldives friendship bridge.
