Zaima Rahman reaches Washington to attend National Prayer Breakfast

Dhaka, 5 Feb=Barrister Zaima Rahman, daughter of BNP Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman, has arrived in Washington, D.C., to attend the National Prayer Breakfast.

Zaima travelled to Washington from London on Tuesday, representing her father Tarique Rahman, according to a BNP source.

Her participation in this high-profile global event is drawing keen attention from political analysts, as it marks her first official engagement on behalf of BNP.

Although she has been residing and studying in the UK, Zaima has largely maintained a low profile in terms of direct political involvement.

Despite hailing from a family deeply rooted in Bangladesh’s political landscape, she has so far refrained from active politics.

Her role as BNP’s representative at this prestigious international gathering is, however, seen as a significant step into the political spotlight.

The National Prayer Breakfast, attended by prominent global leaders, offers Zaima an opportunity to engage with key international figures and represent both Bangladesh and BNP on a global platform.

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and Standing Committee Member Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury arrived in the USA on Sunday to attend the event, scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday.

Members of the US Congress and Senate will be present at the gathering, with former US President Donald Trump set to deliver the keynote address.

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 Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury to participate in the event.
