Exclusive Interview with Japan Ambassador to South Sudan, Seiji Okada

A team of engineers from Japan has arrived in the country to prepare for the resumption of the construction of the Nile River bridge. 

Japan’s Ambassador to South Sudan, Seiji Okada, says the engineers are here to assess the bridge and evaluate the possibility of resuming construction works as soon as possible. 

Construction of the bridge was grounded to a halt more than two years ago, following a resumption of fighting in the country in July 2015.

Ambassador Okada spoke with Radio Miraya's Henry Lokuri in an exclusive interview and highlighted Japan's support for South Sudan.
