(Central News Agency reporter Wang Yang-yu, Taipei, May 12) The Danjiang Bridge officially opened today. Some New Taipei City councilors questioned why the Ministry of Transportation and Communications failed to invite the New Taipei City Government and New Taipei City Mayor Hou Yu-ih. Premier Cho Jung-tai, when interviewed, stated, "I wasn't invited either." He wished for the official opening today to be smooth and safe.
This morning, the Legislative Yuan continued its general interpellation session. Premier Cho Jung-tai was interviewed by the media before the session. Reports indicated that the Danjiang Bridge opened today, but the New Taipei City Government was dissatisfied about not being invited to the blessing ceremony, questioning whether the central government deliberately took credit, which led to dissatisfaction among New Taipei City councilors.
Cho Jung-tai said that he was also not invited, and "we were all here anyway." He added that the biggest event for the Danjiang Bridge was undoubtedly the opening ceremony on the evening of the 9th, where he, President Lai Ching-te, Hou Yu-ih, and several legislators were all present, which was the real opening ceremony.
As for today's official opening, Cho Jung-tai stated that he only prayed for all openings to be smooth and safe. (Editor: Su Lung-chi)1150512
