Senior diplomat Mohammad Sadiq Pakistan’s special envoy to Afghanistan resigned on Wednesday, thanking colleagues for helping him serve in the crucial position.
Mohammad Sadiq said in a series of Tweets on Wednesday that after serving nearly three years as Pakistan’s special envoy to Afghanistan, the time had come for him to move on and focus on personal stuff – family, books and agriculture, and more.
The prominent diplomat wholeheartedly thanked the prime minister and all his colleagues for supporting him during his mission as their special representative for Afghanistan.
Mr. Sadiq’s resignation was accepted by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who appreciated his efforts in the capacity of Pakistan’s envoy to make Pakistan-Afghanistan relation work.
Pakistan’s Former Prime Minister Imran Khan appointed Mohmmad Sadiq in the crucial position in June 2020.
Between December 2008 and April 2014, Mr. Sadiq served as Pakistan’s ambassador to Kabul, and in 2016, he was appointed as the secretary of the national security division. Mr. Sadiq has also served as the ambassador of Pakistan to Washington DC, Beijing, and Brussels.
Many Pakistani politicians and political experts took on Twitter and appreciated Mr. Sadiq for all the services he has done for his country, and wished him success in his future endeavors.
Mr. Sadiq was part of the Pakistan delegation that traveled to Kabul headed by Defense Minister Khawaja Asif on February 25, aimed at discussing security concerns with the Afghan Taliban authorities.
During the visit, the Pakistani delegation met with Mullah Abdul Ghani Bradarm, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Taliban, and warned if the Afghan leadership does not take actions against the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Islamabad will operate inside Afghanistan.
