A three-member BNP delegation, including party Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman's daughter, Zaima Rahman, attended the National Prayer Breakfast in the United States. The traditional "National Prayer Breakfast" was held at the Washington Hilton on Thursday following the election of the new US President.
The event saw participation from key political, diplomatic, business and cultural figures from various countries. On behalf of BNP, Zaima, alongside party Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Standing Committee Member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, took part in the event.
Barrister Zaima Rahman represented her father, BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman, at the gathering. The event began at 7 am (Washington time) and lasted for seven hours. US President Donald Trump joined the programme, which is a Washington tradition of over 70 years.
Traditionally, within the first 100 days of a US president taking office, a breakfast and dinner are organised in honour of significant global figures. In addition to President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, the event was attended by Senators, members of Congress, and other invited world leaders, as well as business professionals and other distinguished guests.
Zaima travelled to Washington from London on Tuesday to represent her father, while BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Standing Committee Member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury arrived in the USA on Sunday for the event.
The BNP delegation also held meetings with Robert Destro, the former US Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labour, and former South Carolina Governor David Beasley in Washington on Wednesday.
