(Karachi) Prime Minister Imran Khan will visit Naran today (Monday) to inaugurate development projects for the promotion of tourism in the area.

During his visit, the premier will be briefed about the steps being taken to promote the tourism sector in the country. He will also hold meetings with local PTI leaders, eminent personalities, and other officials in Naran.

Earlier, the PM inaugurated the Al-Beruni Radius in Multan, part of government efforts to revive the country's historical sites and heritage. Imran said that the tourism industry has potential to provide employment to people. He added that Pakistan has three areas of tourism — the mountains, the seas, and the coastline.

He stated that Turkey earns $40 billion annually from tourism, while Malaysia earns $20 billion from its maritime tourism. Despite having the same potential, Pakistan is earning nothing compared to Turkey and Malaysia, he mentioned.

The prime minister said that aside from contributing to the economy, tourism can also be the biggest source of employment in Pakistan.
 
Prime Minister Imran Khan refused to meet face-to-face with US CIA chief William Burns and speak directly to US Secretary of State Anthony Blanken. U.S. officials have made it clear that violations of diplomatic protocol will not be tolerated.

Pakistan: "We sacrificed 30k security personnel and 70k Pakistanis in a war that was not ours. Did they (US) acknowledged our sacrifice and appreciated us? No, rather they put the blame on Pakistan for doing double game against them in Afghanistan. All the blames after security failure of US in Afghanistan were put on us. The lesson we as nation have learnt from partnering with US war on terrorism is that we will never compromise on our sovereignty again."

I know people always rate IK's oratory very highly, and he himself takes pride in not reading off scripts. But perhaps someone should advise him on these interviews with a few different talking points that he should bring up and then stick to. It will still come across as unrehearsed, more sharp, while also highly professional. Skill in spoken word alone doesn't cut it sometimes.
