Pakistan's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Amir Khoram Rathore, has been called back to Islamabad.

 According to reliable sources, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is taking necessary arrangements and steps for wide-ranging high-level consultations and exchanges, starting with Saudi Arabia.

As part of these measures, Amir Khoram Rathore, who was appointed as Pakistan's ambassador to Riyadh by the Imran Khan government in the end of his tenure, has been instructed to report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after being relieved of his responsibilities in the Saudi capital. He will arrive in Islamabad next week. The reasons for his immediate recall are currently unknown.

According to sources, it is possible that Ahmed Farooq may be entrusted with responsibilities as Pakistan's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, as he is currently performing duties as ambassador in Copenhagen. Pakistan's designated ambassador in Germany, Dr. Muhammad Faisal, whose diplomatic tenure in Berlin has been completed, will now be posted in another country. Similarly, there is also a possibility that Zehra Baloch, who is currently serving as spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry, may also be appointed as ambassador.

Moin-ul-Haque, who has served as Pakistan's ambassador to China and Pakistan's High Commissioner in the UK for a full three-year tenure, will now be appointed as Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Amina Baloch, who was serving in Malaysia, will now represent Pakistan in the European Union.
