Reportedly pakistan Prime Minister imran khan was given a diplomatic snub when he arrived in Washington on his maiden US trip to reboot bilateral ties that have seen a down slide. Meanwhile with his country in financial doldrums, Khan made it a point to travel by a commercial flight, qatar Airways, instead of a private jet, to cut down expenses.

Furthermore when his flight touched down at Dulles airport, reportedly there was no high ranking US administration official to welcome him and later, Khan took a metro ride to the Pakistani envoy's house. Apparently Social media was awash with speculation that imran khan had been snubbed by the US administration, and that the Pakistani government had offered to pay $250,000 for the State Department to arrange an official welcome/protocol of the visiting Pakistani premier, but it was refused.



Moreover pakistan Foreign Minister Shah mehmood Qureshi was at the airport to receive Khan and also accompanied him on the metro ride. imran khan, who is staying at the official residence of the Pakistani Ambassador to the US, Asad Majeed Khan, is to meet US President Donald Trump on July 22. Perhaps Khan, who was lustily greeted by members of the Pakistani expatriate community, later met with the Pakistani business community. Accordingly Khan's visit will focus on strengthening cooperation between Washington and Islamabad to bring peace, stability and economic prosperity to a region that has seen far too much conflict.
