ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has shared a video of snow-covered lands of Gabin Jabba in Swat Pakistan, which he called a newly discovered site for skiing in the country.

The premier predicted that Pakistan will soon become competitive in the Winter Olympics as the Swati children now have a place to practice skiing.
