Pakistan PM Imran Khan Proposes TV Debate With PM Modi To Resolve Differences

New Delhi: With Iran already under US sanctions and Afghanistan involved in decades of war, Pakistan seems to have limited trading options in Asia. Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has hinted that he is keen to revive trade relations with India.

On Tuesday, Imran Khan Khan proposed a televised debate with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to resolve differences between the two neighbours.

“I would love to debate with Narendra Modi on TV,” Imran Khan told Russia Today on the eve of his visit to Moscow to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“India became a hostile country so trade with them became minimal,” Imran Khan said, adding that his government’s policy was to have trade relations with all countries.

India’s Ministry of External Affairs has not responded to Imran Khan’s remarks yet. Recently, Imran Khan’s top advisor, Abdul Razak Dawood, had said that trade with India is the need of the hour and beneficial to both countries, India Today reported.
