US Senate confirms Donald Blome as new ambassador to Pakistan

March 3, 2022 12:32 PM


The United States Senate has confirmed the appointment of Donald Armin Blome as the country’s next ambassador to Pakistan, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Thursday.

The appointment of the US ambassador to the South Asian country was made around three years after Blome’s predecessor David Hale left Islamabad in August 2018.

The US State Department confirmed the Senate approval on Twitter early Thursday.

“Congratulations to Donald Blome on being confirmed by the Senate as our next Ambassador to Pakistan,” it said. “Partnership with Pakistan is key to progress on regional security, trade and investment, the climate crisis, and human rights,” it wrote.

Blome is currently serving as the US Ambassador to Tunisia. He has also served in US missions at Kabul, Jerusalem, Cairo, Baghdad and Kuwait.

Last year in October, President Joe Biden named Blome as the new US ambassador to Pakistan. 

Donald Bloom, who is said to be fluent in Arabic, was earlier posted as the US Charge d’Affaires at the Libyan Foreign Office in Tunis. He also worked as the Consul General at the US Consulate in Jerusalem, and the Director of the Office of Arabian Peninsula Affairs at the US State Department.
