Mumtaz Zahra Baloch appointed ambassador to France

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has approved the appointment of three new ambassadors abroad following recommendations from Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, currently serving as the Foreign Office spokesperson, has been appointed as Pakistan’s ambassador to France. France has formally granted diplomatic approval for her nomination.

Marghoob Saleem Butt has been named Pakistan’s ambassador to Switzerland. He is currently serving as Additional Secretary for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Aamir Shaukat, who is presently Pakistan’s ambassador to Switzerland, will now take on the role of ambassador to Egypt. The summary for these appointments was sent to the prime minister last month and has now been finalized.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also set up a Crisis Management Unit (CMU) in Syria to assist Pakistanis amidst the ongoing unrest following recent regime changes. The CMU is working to help Pakistani citizens deal with the volatile situation in the country.

The Foreign Office has provided contact details for the CMU, including a helpline at +92-51-9207887 and an email address at cmu1@mofa.gov.pk. Additionally, the Pakistan Embassy in Damascus is actively supporting Pakistani nationals in the region. The embassy can be reached via phone or WhatsApp at +963 987 127 822 and +963 990 138 972, or by email at parepdamascus@mofa.gov.pk.

According to international reports, Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad has fled to an undisclosed location. Rebels have reportedly announced their takeover of the capital through state television. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassy are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of Pakistani citizens in Syria.
