US shuts down Peshawar Consulate over security concerns
The United States has officially shuttered its Consulate General located in Peshawar, Pakistan. All diplomatic duties concerning the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region have been transferred to the American Embassy in Islamabad. This move aligns with an announcement made on May 5, where officials stated the closure was necessary to protect personnel. Previously, in March, the US had directed all non-essential government staff stationed at its consulates in Karachi and Lahore to depart the country.
