Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was trolled on social media after he said that Germany and Japan share a common border while addressing a joint press conference with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani during a visit to Iran, reported The Indian Express.

In a video which has gone viral on social media, Khan said that the two countries set up joint industries at the border region to improve ties after the Second World War. “On the border region of Germany and Japan, they had joint industries,” he said, according to The Indian Express.

The video, which has now gone viral online, was shared by Pakistani journalist Syed Talat Hussain.

“Japan is an island country in East Asia located in the Pacific. Germany is in central Europe. They had the same location during the 2nd World War in which they were allies. But PM Imran thinks otherwise and says so before an international audience,” Hussain tweeted, pointing at Khan’s mistake.

Opposition leader Bilawal Bhutto Zardari of the PPP called this embarrassing and tweeted, “our Prime Minister thinks that Germany & Japan share a border. How embarrassing, this is what happenes when you @UniofOxford let people in just because they can play cricket.”

While many trolled Imran Khan for not knowing the history and geography of the world, a few speculated that he had confused Japan with France. After the Second World War, Germany and France signed the Elysee Treaty of friendship which led to economic and military cooperation between the two countries.

This isn't the first time that Imran Khan has been trolled for mixing up geographical facts, however. In December last year, he referred to Africa as an “emerging country,” reported NDTV.
