Owing to the country’s dire economic condition, Pakistan has decided to sell its old embassy building located in the United States (US).
The Foreign Office has permitted the Pakistani embassy in Washington to sell its old building, which has been vacant for the past 15 years, according to ARY News.
According to sources familiar with the matter, the building in the heart of Washington is worth $5 to $6 million and is being sold as a result of Pakistan’s dire economic condition.
A case involving two old Chancery buildings in Washington, DC, at 2201 R Street and 2315 Massachusetts Avenue, which had sat empty since the Pakistan Embassy there was transferred to a specially constructed Chancery Building in April 2003, was previously revealed.
Earlier in August, sources stated that Pakistan was planning to give Qatar shares of the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, New York, in exchange for Doha’s investment in the aviation industry.
The Roosevelt Hotel, which opened its doors in 1924, is one of the country’s iconic hotels and is located in Manhattan’s opulent downtown.
