Imran Khan, the leader of Pakistan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf Party, on Friday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi here during which both expressed the hope that the recent developments would lead to closer cooperative ties between the two countries.

“At his request,” Khan, who is also Member of Parliament in Pakistan, called on the Prime Minister, a PMO statement said.

The cricketer-turned-politician invited the Prime Minister to visit Pakistan.
