Former foreign secretary Riaz Hussain Khokhar passed away here on Tuesday after a brief illness, according to private news channels. PPP senior leader Sherry Rehman expressed her sincere condolence with the family and loved ones of the late ambassador.
“The late ambassador was always such a strong advocate of a progressive Pakistan and fiercely independent who served as Pakistan’s foreign secretary among many other diplomatic posts in tough situations. Khokhar was always on the phone or in person to share his intellectual capital,” she shared her message on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Khokhar was born on December 31, 1942. He served as Pakistan’s ambassador to India, United States and China before leading the top post of foreign secretary of Pakistan at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
