Pakistan's Ambassador to US with some unhysterical Wikileaks real talk

  1. Hussain Haqqani always asserts Pakistan’s policy in Washington. He is trusted advisor of late Pakistani Prime Minister, Ms. Benazir Bhutto. As a close confidante of Asif Zardari, Pakistan’s president, Mr. Haqqani is seen by many in Islamabad as the country’s unofficial foreign minister. Haqqani’s most important brief is that he is encouraging the US to be in relationship with Pakistan on a long-term footing – an elusive Pakistani goal almost since the country was created 62 years ago. Haqqani's top assignments include helping Pakistani officials understand the United States and communicate with Americans, and guiding them through their U.S. visits. President Zardari’s previous visits have been very successful mainly due to Hussain Haqqani’s efforts. He arranged meetings with U.S official in less time and convinced them to listen and support us. Discredited conspiracy theorists seemed to have a long and strange obsession with the Ambassador, Husain Haqqani. He has also taken a keen interest in the Afia Siddiqui case given its political importance at home. He had two meetings with the Bush administration’s Attorney General and has made President Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder at least four times to discuss the case. The US government has been unusually considerate in allowing these meetings, American officials point out, as it is not usually US policy to let foreign ambassadors get involved in cases pending before its courts. Pakistan succeeded in many forums due Ambassador’s great vision and his versatile attitude. Kerry Lugar Bill, other aid packages including many other successes comes under his belt.
