A relatable, frank & convincing speech from PM @ImranKhanPTI touching on pressing issues like #ClimateChange, #Islamophobia, #Kashmir explaining all with relevant background. Much better than speech at CFR. We couldn't get support at UNHCR for Kashmir hope this speech sways #UNGA

One Twitter user pointed out how the premier not only spoke of Kashmir but other pertinent issues too such as Islamophobia.

Imran Khan wasn't just representing Pakistan at #UNGA2019
The first half of the speech was about global Islamophobia & unjust wars imposed on Muslim lands. Indeed he now speaks for the Muslim world.
