ISLAMABAD (WNAM REPORT): Pakistan has come to the defence of Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, after the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) included him in its “most wanted” list over his alleged involvement in the 2007 disappearance of former FBI agent Robert Levinson.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Foreign Office spokesperson Shafqat Ali Khan affirmed Islamabad’s position, stating that Ambassador Moghadam is viewed with respect in Pakistan and is a duly accredited envoy of a neighbouring country.
The spokesperson further highlighted the envoy’s important role in promoting Pakistan-Iran bilateral relations, underscoring Islamabad’s commitment to maintaining friendly ties with Tehran.
“As far as Pakistan is concerned, the ambassador of Iran is widely respected for his role in the promotion of Pakistan-Iran relations,” the FO spokesperson added. “He is entitled to all the privileges, immunities and respect due to an ambassador, that too from a friendly neighbouring country.”
