WASHINGTON: The National Prayer Breakfast hosted by newly-elected US President Donald Trump has been attended by high-ranking personalities from across the globe, including Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, on his invitation.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>The event occurred at 7 am in the US capital, Washington. The breakfast continued for around 7 hours till 2 pm.<\/p>\n

\n
Bilawal was attending Trump\u2019s breakfast ceremony when his father and President Asif Ali Zardari met his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. \u201cWe are allies of China first, then of anyone else,\u201d President Zardari said on this occasion.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Two of Pakistan\u2019s top leaders have attended meetings of the heads of state of two world powers around the same time. And so Bilawal, who is not part of the government, has appeared fully active on the diplomatic front. He arrived in the US on Monday to attend the breakfast.<\/p>\n

Several National Prayer and Faith ceremonies are being held in the US this week, wherein US President Trump and Vice President J D Vance will participate, but this is the first time that Bilawal has attended a ceremony hosted by Trump.<\/p>\n

Amid media speculations and unconfirmed reports, Bilawal on January 24 confirmed that he would attend breakfast at the invitation of the US president, in a personal capacity.<\/p>\n

He had said this in response to a query, asking him if it was true that he was invited to attend an event of the new US administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as my US visit is concerned, this is completely true. I will go for breakfast, a practice that\u2019s continued from my mother\u2019s tenure. There\u2019s a possibility of holding meetings with friends of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto there [as well].<\/p>\n

\u201cNeither I\u2019m a minister nor a government official so this [trip of mine] is not official or as a representative of the government,\u201d he had said.<\/p>\n

It is pertinent to mention here that PPP Co-chairman Zardari had attended the pre-inauguration oath ceremony of then-US President-elect Trump in Washington, DC in 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
