To describe the importance of this reform, IMF managing director ....

Hi,

Question:
Any difference between sentence 1 and 2?

Sentence1:
To describe the importance of this reform, IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn has not minced words.

Sentence2:
IMF managing director Dominique Strauss-Kahn has not minced words to describe the importance of this reform,


My opinion:
For S1, the writer wants us to focus on ‘describe the importance'.
For s2, the writer wants us to focus on ‘the IMF managing director'.

Agree?

Thanks

I do not agree. English emphasis comes at the end of a sentence. In addition.
