The government of Japan will honor Imtiaz Ahmad, a former Pakistani ambassador to Japan, in 2023 with the "Spring Conferment of Decorations" in recognition of his efforts to strengthen the goodwill between Pakistan and Japan and enhance bilateral ties.
The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star will be awarded to the former ambassador, the Japan Embassy in Pakistan announced.
Imtiaz Ahmad has worked as a diplomat in Japan for more than 16 years, holding almost every post from junior diplomat to ambassador.
The Pakistani Embassy in Tokyo said that Mr. Imriaz was working as the Deputy Chief of Mission when the Great East Japan Earthquake happened on March 11, 2011, at the time.
