Washington: US Special Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Marc Grossman has resigned from his post, a report said.
The resignation will be effective from December 14.
He will be replaced in an acting capacity by his current deputy, David D. Pearce, The Washington Post reported.
Special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan (SRAP) is one of the important positions the administration of US President Barack Obama created “to coordinate particularly vexing diplomatic challenges that spanned several countries,” it said.
“Former senator George Mitchell, who served as special envoy for Middle East Peace, was replaced last year by David Hale, a senior foreign service officer.”
Grossman, who is planning to return to private life, was named Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan by Obama on February 22, 2011, replacing the late Richard Holbrooke.
