Prime Minister Imran Khan has arrived at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Tuesday along with his delegation.

Prime Minister Imran Khan is accompanied by a high level delegation, including Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Finance Minister Asad Umer, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry and Adviser on Commerce Abdul Razak Dawood.  

According to Foreign Office Spokesperson, it would be the first state visit by any foreign leader since Dr. Mahathir Muhammad assumed office in May 2018 and Prime Minister Imran Khan's first bilateral visit to Malaysia.
