"It will be a more difficult and challenging future that we face, which is the reason why I have entered this contest to offer all my experience and capabilities on the ground for a few decades nationally and internationally," he said.

When asked why he was braving the heat, Mr Khan quipped: “Because we have a candidate who is very cool, so Mr Tharman is cooling us down.” “He built the reserves, and we have a lot of close insight into how the reserves are built and managed.
