The 33rd Foreign Secretary of Pakistan, Ambassador Amna Baloch, after a distinguished career spanning over three decades and her tenure as Foreign Secretary since 11 September 2024, will retire from government service on 17 September 2026. I commend her dedicated service and leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during a consequential period in Pakistan's diplomatic history.
Foreign Secretary Amna Baloch leaves behind a legacy of dedicated public service, and carries with her our warmest wishes. She will assume charge as Pakistan's Ambassador to Türkiye, after retirement. I am confident she will continue to serve Pakistan with distinction in this new role.
I am delighted to also announce that Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, who is currently Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, will be the next Foreign Secretary of Pakistan.
I am confident that, under Ambassador Asim's leadership, the Foreign Office will continue to advance Pakistan's interests with clarity, professionalism and purpose, building on the important work undertaken by Ambassador Amna Baloch and all her predecessors.
I am further pleased to share that the Honourable Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz has kindly approved the aforesaid assignments.
OICCI welcomes Pakistan’s largest-ever international bond transaction, a $3 billion dual-tranche Eurobond that drew close to $6 billion in orders from global investors. The strong response by international investors, including firm appetite for the ten-year tranche, reflects growing long-term confidence in Pakistan’s macroeconomic stability, reform momentum and economic outlook.
Continued structural reforms, fiscal discipline and a carefully crafted economic strategy centred on export-led growth are the way forward, further strengthening Pakistan’s investment climate for both established and prospective international investors.
Stay the course, Finance Minister Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb.

The Pakistan Banks Association commends the Ministry of Finance on Pakistan’s successful US$3 billion Eurobond issuance. Its scale and tenor, together with robust global demand, provide a clear endorsement of the country’s stabilisation efforts and reform direction. PBA also appreciates the State Bank of Pakistan’s pivotal role in strengthening financial-sector resilience and macroeconomic stability.
The priority now is to sustain confidence through policy discipline, continued stability and a well planned, phased growth strategy. This will further strengthen the investment climate for local and foreign investors, catalysing private investment, FDI, productivity, exports and job creation.
Pakistan’s banks will continue to play a multiplier role in advancing the joint strategy of the @Financegovpk , @StateBank_Pak and PBA through concerted efforts to deepen financial inclusion, accelerate a digital and cashless Pakistan, and expand financing for agriculture, SMEs and housing.
Disgusting behaviour by the Argentinians at the end, especially Paredes.
Just a bunch of nasty violent thugs, and a disgrace to football. Never been so happy to see a team lose.
Israel was planning to assassinate Asim Munir in Switzerland. The plan was thwarted by Pakistani intelligence.
Pakistan’s reply was: “If you touch our delegation, we will wipe you off the map.”
So back off, punks.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relationship between China and Pakistan. As ironclad friends and all-weather strategic cooperative partners, the two countries have set a model for friendly coexistence and common development. Please look at the following factsheet.
