Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan lands in Moscow, says he's excited
Source: Washington Post
Pakistans prime minister, Imran Khan, landed in Moscow on Wednesday and became the first foreign leader to meet with Putin after Russia acknowledged and entered Ukraines separatist regions Monday.
What a time to come, so much excitement, Khan can be heard saying as he walked away from his plane in Moscow, where he was received with pomp.
Khan is the first Pakistani prime minister to visit Moscow in 23 years. His two-day visit had been scheduled before Russias actions in Ukraine.
We are so excited to come to Moscow, he added to a member of his welcoming entourage.

outside of public office . But totally unfit to govern . Although the problem in Pakistan goes beyond just bad governance .
And in this case Khan is most likely just doing what China asked him to .
