ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister Imran Khan has revealed the reason behind US President Joe Biden’s reluctance to make a phone call to him since the collapse of the Ashraf Ghani-led Afghan government.
In an interview with TRT World, the Pakistani premier while responding to a question said: “I have sympathy for Biden as he is under public pressure to Kabul airport incident”.

“It is up to American president when he speaks to me,” Khan said, highlighting that there has been high-level engagements between the two countries.
