Maleeha Lodhi responds to all Twitter messages she receives as her tenure at UN comes to an end
In a major reshuffle in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Pakistan’s envoy to UN Maleeha Lodhi bid farewell to the post and was replaced with Munir Akram as Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations in New York on Monday.
Paying honour to the seasoned diplomat, celebrities, politicians, and people from all walks of life came in front to praise and highlight her efforts and dedication Lodhi has shown during one of the country’s top diplomatic posts.
The four and half year tenure Lodhi served was both eventful and significant in giving Pakistan a higher and more positive profile at the world’s most important multilateral organization.
“I am truly overwhelmed by the messages I am receiving on Twitter. As I will be unable to thank everyone individually for their good wishes I want to say how grateful I am for each and every message I have received. I will, as I said before, continue to serve the country,” reads the message on Lodhi’s Twitter handle while thanking everyone for the support.
Dr. Maliha thanked everyone individually by replying to their tweet on her Twitter.
She extended her special thanks to Pakistani actress Mahira Khan wrote on her Twitter lauding Lodhi’s efforts, “You have been amazing.. so glad to have worked and hung out with you through this time.”
Thank you dear Mahira https://t.co/uCVva2YdpD
