Haqqani to continue as ambassador to US: Foreign Office

ISLAMABAD: Foreign Office on Monday clarified that Ambassador Hussain Haqqani will continue with his post at Washington.

In response to media reports regarding the replacement of Haqqani with another senior politician, the Foreign Office spokesperson termed these as "untrue".
