Pakistan has decided to upgrade the level of its chargé d’affaires in Kabul to the level of ambassador with an aim to elevate diplomatic ties between the two neighboring countries.
A chargé enjoys the same privileges and immunities as an ambassador under international law, and normally these extend to their aides as well. However, chargés d’affaires are outranked by ambassadors and have lower precedence at formal diplomatic events, according to information available at Wikipedia.
In a post on X on Friday, Pakistan Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said Pakistan-Afghanistan relations were on positive trajectory after his “very productive visit to Kabul with Pakistan delegation on April 19, 2025”.
“To maintain this momentum, I am pleased to announce the decision of the Government of Pakistan to upgrade the level of its chargé d’affaires in Kabul to the level of ambassador.
“I am confident this step would further contribute towards enhanced engagement, deepen Pak-Afghan cooperation in economic, security, CT & trade areas and promote further exchanges between two fraternal countries,” he wrote.
