The PM was coming back to Pakistan in a plane owned by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman. The premier had also arrived in the US on the crown prince’s plane.
The prime minister was in the US for the 74th session of the United Nations General Assembly. He addressed the assembly on September 27 and called the international community’s attention towards Indian occupation of Kashmir.
Sources also confirmed that the premier arrived at the hotel from the airport in New York safely and will spend the rest of his time there while efforts are underway to fix the airplane as quickly as possible.
PM Imran was travelling back to Pakistan in the plane after a week-long tour of the United States in which he met several world leaders and also addressed the United Nations General Assembly.
