00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			And, of course, after 2017,
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05
			I've been traveling mainly to Muslim countries.
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:09
			And, yes, I did receive invitation from several
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10
			non Muslim countries, but
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:13
			the closest that I accepted it was
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			in 2020 when I got invitation from Canada,
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18
			when one of the Muslim MPs in Toronto,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			he invited me and said that Justin Trudeau
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24
			was going to be the chief guest, and
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:26
			he wanted me also to be one of
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:26
			the
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			chief guest.
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:29
			And it was supposed to be organized in
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			April 2020.
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			And because it was
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:35
			from the government side
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38
			and from Justin Trudeau, I had accepted the
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			notation. But unfortunately,
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			COVID 19 came.
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43
			And most of the countries in the world
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			started being blocked from March onwards.
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			So by the time
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			April came,
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			the date that we were supposed to have
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:51
			the conference,
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:54
			it got cancelled, and that was the last
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			that, of course, I received invitation from many
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:57
			non Muslim countries.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:58
			But
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			even though the though the country, I won't
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03
			name it, that give me invitation
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:05
			from the head of state,
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:06
			from the president.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			But
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10
			my advisers told me it's not safe to
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			go there. Even though I have an invitation
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:14
			from head of state, please don't go because
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16
			they may be close to India, so I
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:18
			had to politely refuse. But normally,
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			if I accept invitation, it should be from
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			head of state. And I doubt
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25
			the UK head of state will invite me.
