Prime Minister regretted that there was a lack of political will in the richer countries to help return the wealth plundered by corrupt politicians of the developing world.
In a separate meeting with the editorial board of Wall Street Journal, the premier said racism is often rooted in arrogance, which could result in people making huge blunders.
“That is what [Indian Prime Minister Narendra] Modi has done in occupied Kashmir,” he added.
Prime Minister Khan said India’s repressive and illegal actions in occupied Kashmir would have repercussions not only for the region but for the entire Muslim world.
“The world doesn’t realise we are heading for a big disaster,” he stressed.
