Pakistan selects its new envoy to RI

JAKARTA: Pakistan has selected Maj. Gen. (ret) Ali Baz as its new
ambassador to Indonesia, Pakistani daily newspaper The
International The News (Jong Group) reported from Karachi.

Pakistan's present ambassador to Indonesia Maj. Gen. Syed
Mustafa Anwer Husain, who submitted his credentials to then
president Abdurrahman Wahid on Sept. 15, 2000, confirmed the
news.

"I have already received my transfer order. But I may leave
Indonesia in either February or March," Ambassador Anwer Husain,
who is also the former instructor of Pakistan's President Pervez
Musharraf, told The Jakarta Post recently.

During Anwer Husain's time here, the relations between
Indonesia and Pakistan have entered into a new phase when
Musharraf visited Indonesia in April 2005.

The cooperation between both the Muslim-majority states in
economic, trade, education and defense sectors has been growing
significantly. -- JP
