A three-member BNP delegation, including party Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman’s daughter, Barrister Zaima Rahman, is set to attend the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC, USA.
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir will lead the delegation, with Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury as the other member, reports UNB.
Contacted, Mirza Fakhrul confirmed that he, along with Chowdhury, will depart for Washington on Sunday evening.
“The National Prayer Breakfast is an annual event in the United States. Our party’s acting chairman, Tarique Rahman, has also been invited to this event. As he is unable to attend, his daughter, Barrister Zaima Rahman, will represent him,” he said.
Fakhrul said Zaima will travel to Washington from London and join the event.
BNP Media Cell Member Shairul Kabir Khan said Mirza Fakhrul and Amir Khasru are scheduled to leave Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport for the USA on an Emirates Airlines flight at 6:30pm on Sunday.
The National Prayer Breakfast, scheduled for February 5 to February 6 in Washington, DC, is an annual event that serves as a platform for dialogue among national and international leaders.
The event is organised by the US Congress and invites global political and social figures for discussions on faith, leadership, and global issues.
On January 11, the National Prayer Breakfast Committee extended invitations to BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman, Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, and Standing Committee Member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury to participate in the event.
