Prime Minister Imran Khan has been named among the '100 Most Influential People' of 2019 by Time magazine. The list, unveiled on Wednesday, has chosen the "influential people" under four categories: leaders, pioneers, artists, icons and titans. Journalist Ahmed Rashid wrote the following regarding Prime Minister Khan for Time's 100 most influential people issue.
"Pakistan is at a critical crossroads, and the man in charge is the closest it has to a rock star. Imran Khan captained the team that won the 1992 Cricket World Cup, built a world-class cancer hospital in Lahore, then a top-notch university for kids who could never have dreamed of attending one. Twenty years ago, he entered politics-a dirty business in Pakistan at the best of times.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who received global acclaim for her handling of the aftermath of a terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch, also made it to the annual list.
