ISLAMABAD/PHNOM PENH, Nov 29 (AP): Iconic singer and actress Cher is in Pakistan to celebrate the departure of Kaavan, dubbed the "world’s loneliest elephant,” who will leave a Pakistani zoo on for better conditions after years of lobbying by animal rights groups and activists.

Because of security concerns, Cher's schedule was not made public. However, she met on Friday (Nov 27) with Prime Minister Imran Khan and was expected to visit Kaavan later in the trip, according to the prime minister's office. Khan's office released a video of the singer sitting with the prime minister outside on the expansive grounds of Khan's residence.
