Summary US special envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan and senior diplomat Marc Grossman has resigned.
WASHINGTON: According to a US newspaper, Senior diplomat Marc Grossman has resigned as the State Department’s special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, effective Dec. 14.
Grossman, who had previously served as undersecretary for political affairs, assistant secretary for Europe and ambassador to Turkey, was persuaded to put a second career at the Cohen Group on hold to take the SRAP position after Richard C. Holbrooke, who had inaugurated the job, died in December 2010.
Grossman, who plans to return to private life, will be replaced in an acting capacity by his current deputy, David D. Pearce.
