The Embassy of the United States in Islamabad is the diplomatic mission of the United States in Pakistan. The embassy in Islamabad is one of the largest U.S. embassies in the world, in terms of personnel, and houses a chancery and complex of office buildings.[1] The embassy complex also houses a contingent of military officials and intelligence personnel in addition to diplomatic and non-diplomatic staff.[1] U.S. Department of State also maintains Consulates in Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar.[2]
The American diplomatic mission is headed by Ambassador Donald Blome. The first Embassy of the United States to Pakistan was located in the city of Karachi, then the capital of Pakistan. The embassy was relocated to Islamabad after the city was made the new capital in 1960, and rebuilt in 1979. In 2015, a new embassy complex was completed at a cost of $736 million.[3]
