Interim govt to resolve payment issues in Rooppur project

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus said that the interim government would resolve the payment issues over the Rooppur project.

The adviser said this when Russian Ambassador to Bangladesh Alexander V Mantytskiy paid a visit at his Tejgaon office on Wednesday (October 9).

During the meeting, Mantytskiy recalled his eventful time during his over three-year tenure as the ambassador of the Russian Federation to Bangladesh.

He informed the Chief Adviser of the progress of the Rooppur nuclear power plant, which is expected to generate power next year. The plant is primarily funded by Russia, and its experts are implementing the project.

Chief Adviser Prof Yunus appreciated Russian cooperation in the power and energy sectors and Russia's role as a supplier of wheat and fertiliser to Bangladesh.
