Watch: Imran Khan speaks to the Saudi King and walks away casually before the interpreter can translate it for King Salman

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan with Saudi King Salman

In a major embarrassment for Pakistan, the Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, on his two-day visit to Saudi Arabia met the Saudi King, King Salman bin Abdulaziz at the Islamic Summit, said something to him and very casually walked away before the interpreter could interpret it for the king and he could respond.

Khan is in Saudi Arabia for the 14th Islamic Summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) held in Makkah. Imran Khan reportedly blamed the West for ‘Islamophobia’ and declared that Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. He even stressed that the international community has to respect the feelings of over a billion Muslims.
