Partly Facetious: What about entertainment?

"So what entertainment is being planned for the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia?"
Published February 15, 2019

"So what entertainment is being planned for the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia?"
"You are so not with it. Decision makers from foreign countries visit not to be entertained but to sign trade/investment deals/memoranda of understanding (MoUs) and the host country gives them respect, respect directly proportional to the amount of deals/MoUs signed and..."
"OK, but surely its not all about work, work and more work."
"Dinners are hosted and I have it on good authority that the President and the Prime Minister are going to host dinners at their official residences..."
"That they may or may not be resident in!"
"I knew you would mention that, yet again!"
"My question to The Khan is once the Prime Minister's House is made into a university then where would someone like the Saudi Crown Prince be housed?"
"I told you yesterday there are many other places, besides most visiting heads and senior members of government stay at their Ambassador's residence or in hotels..."
"But if PM House is converted into a University what is to stop a terrorist from enrolling and then doing mischief..."
"Don't be facetious - there are ways as you are aware...but I heard from an impeccable source that Pakistan National Council of the Arts, based in Islamabad, is preparing a show for the Crown Prince at dinners at the PM as well as the President's House."
"Well, OK, so you were right, a foreign dignitary has to be entertained but would PNCA be able to hold the Crown Prince's attention?"
"I am not sure..."
"I heard that the Saudis do watch Indian movies so my suggestion is the stars who have appeared in Indian movies be part of the PNCA..."
"The court banned Indian movies..."
"They are not banned in Saudi Arabia, besides our industrial sector continues to use Indian film stars to sell their products... "
"No such use is made by Descon - a company committed to being Pakistani and..."
"Don't be facetious, but I want to make a suggestion: why doesn't The Khan challenge the Crown Prince to a race, foot race, and..."
"The Crown Prince is half The Khan's age, I mean be fair..."
"I am not sure the Crown Prince likes to jog though I did hear he exercises regularly..."
"You are so shallow - focus on the deals/MoUs signed and..."
"I focused on those when China Pakistan Economic Corridor projects were signed but then along comes another government and the pace slows down and this in spite of commitment to..."
"That's the way the cookie crumbles in politics my friend, the best way out is to take it to parliament..."
"Nothing happens there but discord!"
