I bring more than twenty years of international political and administrative experience as a career diplomat in the Foreign Service of Pakistan, with tours in the Middle East and Asia as well as residence in the United States. Moreover, during the last more than three and a half years , I have gained valuable experience as an Urdu and Punjabi linguist. My career has enabled me to combine excellent interpersonal, communications and customer service skills with challenging responsibilities. I have learned to adopt a disciplined approach to the task at hand and developed the innate ability to anticipate potential obstacles, with a view to attaining specific targets.
