Islamabad intends to replicate the Malaysian model, PM Khan tells Mahathir
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said that Islamabad wants to learn from the progress and development of Malaysia and its leadership.
Imran Khan, who is on a two-day official visit of Malaysia, held a joint press conference with Malaysia's Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad and invited him to visit the country for next year's Pakistan Day celebrations, which fall on March 23.
Mahathir Mohammad accepted the invitation and said he will visit Pakistan in March. The Malaysian leader also said that the two sides have agreed to continue the bilateral dialogue process.

PM Khan said that the government wants to replicate the Malaysian model of good governance. Admiring Mahathir Mohammad, he said that the Malaysian leader has totally transformed the country, and raised the per capita income and Gross Development Product (GDP).
"Apart from trade and future cooperation, we are looking forward for Malaysian cooperation in the tourism sector," he said, adding that Pakistan has a number of tourists spots but no resorts.
He added that the newly formed government in Islamabad has found itself in a situation where it was facing "unprecedented debt". PM Khan said his government has the mandate to end corruption and he wants to learn from the Malaysian model to address the situation at home.
Earlier on Tuesday night, PM Imran Khan along with a delegation reached Kuala Lumpur. He was received by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Deputy Minister in the PM Office of Government of Malaysia.
According to the official Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Twitter account, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Finance Minister Asad Umar, and Adviser on Commerce Abdul Razak Dawood are also accompanying PM Khan.
PM Khan is the first head of state to visit the Southeast Asian country since Mahathir Mohammad became Malaysia's PM for a second time earlier this year, Radio Pakistan reported.
This is Imran Khan’s fourth official visit to any country after becoming prime minister. Before this, he has visited Saudi Arabia, China and the United Arab Emirates to seek bailout packages amid a mounting balance of payments crisis confronting Pakistan. It is also the last of the trio of planned foreign visits when the PM assumed the top office.
On Oct 18, PM Khan and Mahathir Mohamad had held a telephonic conversation in which the former had emphasised Pakistan’s need of close and cordial relations with Malaysia.
During the conversation with Mahathir Mohamad, PM Khan had expressed a desire to learn from their experiences, and also accepted the veteran leader’s invitation to visit Malaysia.

Leaders do not replicate but make own their way by giving their own vision to build the nation. It seems that Imran Khan is not prepared well and he has no practical roadmap. As he meets other leaders and asking for cooperation to replicate the other countries experiences in Pakistan. I don't think that may be workable in the context of Pakistan. What I suggest, take more time to understand our own root causes, prepare plan/vision according to Pakistan context and then fix it. Maybe he needs to emphasize human development, implementing the same laws for all, etc.

Mahathir does not want Malaysia to become another victim of China’s debt-trap diplomacy, which has threatened Sri Lanka’s sovereignty. Sri Lanka, unable to pay the huge debt to China, has recently handed over its strategically located Hambantota port to China under a 99-year lease arrangement. Kenya’s severe debt to China is now threatening to send its economy into an irreversible tailspin, with loan repayments to Chinese State-owned banks skyrocketing to mammoth proportions. The list of countries trapped in the Chinese debt has been expanding by the day

Third, while it is good to know how others succeeded in achieving economic independence, will PTI leader succeed in convincing his opponents b/c w/o buy-in from all sections of society nothing good can come out. Lastly, if you do not know what ails your own society, no other model, system or strategy can work. Which system so far has not been tried here. All failed. Why? B/c of noncompliance, disobedience and gross violations, w/o consequences, by the same very people who promulgated SOPs, rules of business, law of the land, and more. Look at PTI 'a administration and it's modus operandi so far. Look inward where the problems are not outward b/c there is no compatibility with anyone, anyhow. Don't confuse already confused.

@Khan USA,
'Malaysian model , Chinese model or Medina model ?'
They all have one thing in common, accountability for the benefit of the people.

It looks like he is trying to use his cricketing field tactics of spin and fast bowling in politics. These unstable policies will not resolve Pakistan's real problem. Pakistan need a visionary leader to guide in right direction into a prosperous country. Prosperity can't be achieved by blending Chinese/Malaysian spin and fast bowling flavors.

Since the PM Imran is visiting all majority Islamic countries for advice - the next countries on his itinerary will be Indonesia, and Bangladesh.
For ‘good’ advice, on how to stop corruption ... he will also visit Singapore, Hong Kong and ..... Panama...

Both Malaysia and China clamped hard on corruption and thus following their models should suite PK as well. Thought, the opposition my cry foul as such an approach could deprive them of the perks and privileges they have been using through corruption. A nice U Turn for the interest of Pakistan to get rid of corruption. Keep it up.

You have to find your own model.
Pakistan supposedly makes/exports the best in sports equipment.
It was an Englishman who first had a football made in Pakistan, and over many decades has grown into a major industry.
Must look for the best practices in education, health care and industry and regulation and fashion what works for you,I guess.

How about doing something PM promised, like END corruption. I think people will consider that as achievement. At least please do something instead of begging. We are hearing lot of vague statements, sometimes unreal and scary. Pakistan needs a modern industrial state and saved from the people who want to go back to middle ages.
