In 2018, Prime Minister Imran Khan promised a Naya Pakistan that would not face any economic woes or problems. Retrofitted with pandemic era phrases, nips and tucks, Khan belted out what was effectively an abridged version of last year's gig, at half-past noon on Friday. The layering of the two years' speeches seems like a Khan riff on a wild moment from recent US politics.In this image taken from video provided by UN Web TV, Imran Khan, Prime Minister of Pakistan, remotely addresses the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly in a pre-recorded message.

Now we are targeting 10 billion trees."Khan's 2020 lines have minor edits, some adjectives tossed in: "We have launched an extremely ambitious program to plant 10 billion trees in the next three years as a contribution to mitigating the effects of climate change."In 2019, he 'explained' to the UNGA the concept of the RSS: "I have to explain what the RSS is. "A woman can take off her clothes in some countries but she cannot put more on? And why has this happened?

When we came into power my first priority was that Pakistan would be that country that would try its best to bring peace" and "This is the time when you, the UN, must urge India to lift the curfew to free the 13,000 Kashmiris who have disappeared meanwhile and this is the time when the UN must insist on Kashmir's right to self determination."Mr. That stayed in the same slot, after climate change, RSS and Modi.The 2019 readout: "Now I want to move on to talk about Kashmir.
