Jordan's Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Center has named Prime Minister Imran Khan as its 'Man of the Year' in its recent list of the most persuasive Muslims in the world. 

The center, which is an autonomous research entity with the Royal Aal Al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought in Jordan chose Palestinian-American Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib as its 'Woman of the Year.'

Professor S Abdallah Schleifer, a Professor Emeritus of Journalism in the American University in Cairo, who chose both the winners for the titles said Imran Khan was selected due to his role in cricket, launching a successful fund-raising campaign to establish a hospital devoted to cancer patients and his desire for peace with neighboring India.
