ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Babar Awan said on Monday yesterday’s large gathering of Pakistani-Americans in Washington was a result of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s public diplomacy.
In a tweet, he quoted Ambassador Alice G. Wells, US Deputy Assistant Secretary for South and Central Asia, as lauding a large crowd of overseas Pakistanis attending the event in the American capital.
Ms Awan said the turning up of the large crowd at the event was a result of the people’s diplomacy of PM Khan.
