Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Friday confirmed that he was going to attend breakfast at the invitation of US President Donald Trump, in a personal capacity.
Bilawal 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. He confirmed that he was going to attend the annual National Prayer Breakfast.
“As far as my US visit is concerned, this is completely true and this news was reported by media, but you should ask media about this news’ origin.
“I will definitely go for breakfast, a practice that’s continued from my mother’s tenure. There’s a possibility of holding meetings with friends of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto there [as well].
Neither I’m a minister nor a government official so this [trip of mine] is not official or as a representative of the government,” he said.
It is pertinent to mention here that PPP Co-chairman and incumbent President Asif Ali Zardari had attended the pre-inauguration oath ceremony of then-US president-elect Trump in Washington, DC in 2017.
