WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama on Tuesday nominated veteran diplomat David Hale as the country’s new ambassador to Pakistan.
Hale, currently ambassador to Lebanon, has previously served as the top US diplomat in Jordan and was special envoy for Middle East peace under Obama.
Hale will have to be confirmed by lawmakers of the US Senate before taking up his post.
He would replace outgoing ambassador Richard Olson, who has held the post since 2012.
