Aisha Farooqui appointed Foreign Affairs spokesperson
ISLAMABAD: An ace diplomat Ms Aisha Farooqui has been appointed spokesperson for the Foreign Affairs vice Dr Muhammad Faisal Chaudhary, who has been designated country’s ambassador to Germany. The new spokesperson has assumed the charge on Thursday.
Ms Aisha was Pakistan’s consul general in Houston and recently transferred to the headquarters as Director General. Syed Abrar H Hashmi has been appointed consul general in Houston where he also has assumed the assignment. Well-placed sources told The News here Thursday that with the change of the spokesperson no alteration is expected in the approach in Foreign affairs. Unlike her predecessor, Ms Aisha hasn’t been given charge of any desk since Dr Muhammad Faisal Chaudhary spearheaded the South Asia desk of the Foreign Office very ably. It is likely new spokesperson will also be assigned any important desk. Ms Aisha is third female spokesperson after Ms Tasnim Aslam and Ms Tehmina Janjua. The former was retired as Special Secretary of the Foreign Office while Ms Janjua attained superannuation early this year and Sohail Mahmood became the Foreign Secretary. Ms Aisha is a career diplomat who joined the Foreign Service of Pakistan in 1994. Before taking charge of her new responsibilities, she had been serving as consulate general of Pakistan in Houston, United States. She has served in important capitals, including London, Cairo and Ankara in her career so far. “She has also contributed towards policymaking at important political desks at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Islamabad,” according to her bio shared by the Foreign Office. Her appointment has been hailed by media dealing with Foreign Affairs, and she will make her maiden appearance as spokesperson next week, the sources said. The Foreign Office has sought agre’ment for posting of Dr Muhammad Faisal Chaudhary from Berlin, who is yet another talented diplomat. It is likely he will move to his first ambassadorial posting next month. Currently Dr Faisal is in Washington where he is representing country before the World Bank in case of Ratle Dam that India is constructing in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) by defying Indus Basin Treaty.The building of the dam on Chenab River could deprive Pakistan further its due share from the rivers flowing from IOK. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Aisha Farooqui appointed Foreign Affairs spokesperson || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
