Japan has not yet decided whether to follow the suit after the World Bank's announcement to pull out of the Padma bridge project.
"We will consider our position on the project in consultation with the Japanese government," Kei Toyama, Senior Representative for JICA in Bangladesh, said on Sunday.
JICA, a co-financier of the US$ 2.9-billion largest infrastructure project of Bangladesh, was to give US$ 400 million.
"The situation is very much regrettable in spite of the efforts between the government of Bangladesh and the World Bank," he said in response to queries on the co-financier's position.
The World Bank, set to provide over a billion dollars for the project, announced its pull-out on Friday.
