Ubaid ur Rehman Nizamani arrived in Kabul on Friday and started as Pakistan's new chief of mission in Afghanistan.
Nizamani replaces Mansoor Ahmed Khan, the former Pakistan Ambassador to Kabul.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan appointed Nizamani as the new head of its embassy in Kabul on August 2021. The new Pakistan chief of mission in Afghanistan was supposed to start earlier in Afghanistan, but he arrived in Kabul after a month's delay.
Before his appointment in Afghanistan, Nizamani was the General Director of the European Department in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan. He has been working as a diplomat in Pakistan’s foreign ministry for more than 20 years, including diplomatic responsibility in Washington.
