Islamabad [Pakistan], Dec 16 (ANI): Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan on Monday received a Proton X70 as a gift from his Malaysian counterpart Mahathir Mohamad.
Proton X70, a premium sports vehicle, was handed over to Abdul Razzak Dawood, the commerce adviser of the prime minister, at a ceremony held at the Malaysian High Commission in Islamabad today, Express Tribune reported.
"Honoured to receive the Proton car gifted by Dr. Mahathir Mohamad to PM@ImranKhanPTI, at the Malaysian High Commission at Islamabad. This gift is a demonstration of the love and respect between the two countries and will further consolidate the excellent bilateral relations," Dawood wrote in a tweet.

Malaysia has also announced to set up a Proton car manufacturing unit in Pakistan, which will start production in June next year. It will be a joint venture between the Malaysian carmaker and its local partner Alhaj Automotive. This would be the company's first assembly plant set up in any South Asian country.
The Malaysian-based corporation, Proton was established in 1983 and has so far sold three million cars. Proton cars are sold in more than 25 countries, including Britain, Singapore and Australia. (ANI)

A country with a well-documented history of clandestine nuclear proliferation can hardly preach the virtues of export controls and proliferation risks. Such ludicrous statements are nothing more than an attempt by Pakistan to distract from its own abysmal record," he said.
