Former Pakistan Army Chief Gen. Jehangir Karamat is likely to be appointed as its envoy to Washington to succeed Asharf Jahangir Qazi who has been appointed as UN special envoy to Iraq.
Gen. Karamat's name is on the top of list of candidates being considered by Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, media reports said here today.
Musharraf succeeded Karamat as the Chief of Army after the latter quit following differences with then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over the constitution of the National Security Council, comprising the top brass of the army, navy and air force.
