Biden invites Pakistan envoy Masood Khan for ‘official photo’

WASHINGTON, 15 June 2022, (TON): Ambassador Masood Khan, Islam­abad’s representative in Washington, meets US President Joe Biden, an appointment that will formalise his position as Pakistan’s envoy to the United States.

Ambassador Khan was sent to Washington on March 25, when the PTI government was still in power, but after Imran Khan’s ouster on April 11, there was speculation that the change in Islamabad would also impact diplomatic appointments.

But Pakistan’s envoy to the United Nations, Ambassador Munir Akram, later explained that incumbent ambassadors continue to represent the country in foreign capitals unless specifically asked by the new government to return home.

Neither Ambassador Khan nor Ambassador Akram were asked to do so.
