Prime Minister Imran Khan has his fair share of fans, with the Pakistani premier seemingly making a new one in Malaysia's first lady during his official visit to the country.

In a video shared on Twitter, Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali can be seen expressing her excitement for holding the cricket legend-turned-politician's hand after gleefully asking him, "Can I hold your hand?"

PM Imran replies, "Yes sure" and posed for press photos. All in presence including Malaysian premier Mahathir Mohammad were all smiles enjoying the cordial ties between leaders of the two countries.

Earlier in the day, PM Imran met his Malaysian counterpart at his official residence.



He is on a two-day official visit to Malaysia, where he said that Pakistan wants to learn from Malaysia’s economic development and progress through the years.

The premier had also invited Malaysian counterpart Mahathir Mohammad to attend Pakistan Day celebration in 2019. The two countries have agreed to enhance bilateral cooperation in trade, privatisation, foreign direct investment, food and tourism.

“We look up to him [Mahatir] – a leader who transformed his country. We have followed Malaysia’s progress and my party [Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf] wants to learn from your leadership. How Malaysia transformed its economy, developed and raised per capita and gross domestic product.”
