The Chief Adviser of the interim government, Dr Muhammad Yunus, sat in a meeting with BNP senior leaders on Monday afternoon.
BNP standing committee members, led by its Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, joined the meeting at the state chief adviser's residence at 4pm.
BNP media cell member Sayrul Kabir Khan said Dr Yunus invited the BNP leaders for the meeting.
This is the first formal meeting between the head of the interim government and BNP leaders since its formation on August 8.
BNP Standing Committee Members Khandker Mosharref Hossain, Mirza Abbas, Dr Abdul Moyeen Khan, Nazrul Islam Khan, Salahuddin Ahmed, Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury, Selima Rahman and Jamiruddin Sircar were present.
As former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country after resigning in the face of a student-led mass movement, the interim government was formed under the leadership of Nobel-winning Economist Professor Muhammad Yunus.
