Lieutenant General (retd) Muhammad Aamer has been appointed as Pakistan’s new ambassador to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Aamer, who previously commanded the Gujranwala Corps, retired from the army 11 months ago.

He is set to replace Syed Faisal Niaz Tirmizi, who has been reassigned as Pakistan’s ambassador to Belgium and the European Union. The Pakistani government has requested approval from the UAE for Aamer’s appointment.

According to The News, citing diplomatic sources, Lt. General Muhammad Aamer brings extensive experience in public relations to his new role. He previously served as Military Secretary to President Asif Ali Zardari during Zardari’s first term.

His career includes significant roles in staff, instructional, and command positions.

Furthermore, Suljuk Mustansar Tarar, currently the Ambassador to the Netherlands, has been named Ambassador to Indonesia, taking over from Ameer Khurram Rathore, who is set to retire soon.

  • Now already looted and future loot money will be secured in UAE.
    Mar dalo saray civilians.

  • Retired Army officers should focus on Armed forces projects even after retirement. Such type of postings are giving them a bad repute.
    A professional soldier don’t want to do involve in politics and in such government affairs.

  • 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I think they should start recruiting our road cleaners and guttr workers from army as well

  • Way ambassadors

    Why not sanitary workers, bathroom cleaners.

    Meri Bahar sadak par gai ka gobhar bhi army wallet saaf kar den .

  • wow so many retired generals in important posts where they have no clue how to run it. retired general as PTA chairman
    retired general as Wapda chairman

  • the beggining was done by pti in their tenure to appoint retired generals to key posts in the country and now pml n doing same thing on very fast pace. i really hope this stops once truely people elected gov comes in power .

  • What the hell is going on this country !!!
    Why military personnel are heading many positions which should be headed by relevant fields able people.
    If such practice is going on, why don’t they become head for gutter cleaning in every city and district as this sanitary issue has plagued Pakistan for such a long time and such competent mil personnel should handle it much better due to administrative trainings.

  • To me foreign services of Pakistan is already not fulfilling it’s duties properly.like they are not getting maximum benefit for Pakistan keeping in view the exports of Pakistan.
    Properly not managing the interest of Pakistani overseas.
    Not creating the soft imagine of country.
    Not creating opportunities for Pakistan in all fields.like Arshad Nadeem get the Gold medal.France embassy must encash such events to portray Pakistani imagine and attract tourist to visit Pakistan.
    And in last UAE is very important destination for Pakistan in all regards.They are very brotherly with us.
    So,who so be in UAE as embassador must protect Pakistani interest in UAE.Bring better job opportunities for Pakistani not only in labor but in skilled and semi skilled jobs.
