US President Donald Trump has extended invitations to BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman, the party’s Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, and Standing Committee member Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury to attend the National Prayer Breakfast, an event hosted by the US Congress, scheduled for February 5-6.

BNP disclosed the matter through a media statement on Saturday.

The National Prayer Breakfast, an annual event in Washington, D.C., brings together approximately 3,500 attendees, including international guests from over 100 countries. 

The event comprises a series of meetings, luncheons, and dinners, creating opportunities for networking and collaboration.

Since its inception in 1953 by Abraham Vereide, the event has served as a platform for political, social, and business leaders to come together and pray. 

Held on the first Thursday of February each year, it has been hosted at the Washington Hilton on Connecticut Avenue NW since at least the 1980s.

Republican Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 47th president of the United States on 20 January.
